520    "Best known for his general theory of relativity and the 
       famous equation linking mass and energy, E = mc², Albert 
       Einstein had a lasting impact on the world of science, the
       extent of which is illuminated--along with his fascinating
       life and unique personality--in this lively history. In 
       addition to learning all about Einstein's important 
       contributions to science, from proving the existence and 
       size of atoms and launching the field of quantum mechanics
       to creating models of the universe that led to the 
       discovery of black holes and the big bang theory, young 
       physicists will participate in activities and thought 
       experiments to bring his theories and ideas to life. Such 
       activities include using dominoes to model a nuclear chain
       reaction, replicating the expanding universe in a 
       microwave oven, creating blue skies and red sunsets in a 
       soda bottle, and calculating the speed of light using a 
       melted chocolate bar. Suggestions for further study, a 
       time line, and sidebars on the work of other physicists of
       the day make this an incredibly accessible resource for 
       inquisitive children"--|cProvided by publisher.
