Learning about Albert Einstein is one of the assignments in the Noeo Physics 1<\/a> curriculum. The book that comes with the curriculum is Did it Take Creativity to Find Relativity, Albert Einstein?<\/a><\/em>\u00a0Unfortunately, we found the book to be too dry, so\u00a0decided to find a different one. Since we wanted to start reading right that minute, we went for a kindle book. We chose\u00a0the book\u00a0Who Was Albert Einstein?<\/a><\/em>\u00a0This book had 106 reviews with the average being 5 stars, so I figured it was a safe bet. Indeed it was. For a short fun read on Albert Einstein, this book was a great pick. Perhaps it was a bit more history and less science than the previous book, but I really don’t think that my third grader needs to understand relativity or E=mc2<\/sup>\u00a0too thoroughly, and he definitely enjoyed the history. He was most intrigued that Einstein’s theory of mass to energy conversion played a pivotal roll in the atomic bomb creation, and that Einstein petitioned Roosevelt to develop the atomic bomb, but was an avowed pacifist.<\/p>\n

Ace did a notebook page (front and back) on Einstein.<\/p>\n

\"Einstein<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Einstein <\/a>\"Einstein<\/a><\/div>\n

Everything was narrated by Ace and I wrote it out for him. The top picture is just his overall report on what we read. The inside of the compass mini book is about how a compass that was gifted to Albert when he was young sparked\u00a0his love of science. The orange mini book is about the atomic bomb. The cover is a drawing of a mushroom cloud by Ace.<\/p>\n
