FREE Albert Einstein Unit Study at 3 Reading Levels for Kids

When I think about famous scientists, Albert Einstein is the first name I usually think of! He is usually one of the first scientists your children will learn about in Science, specifically when they are taking Physics. Einstein is best known for his theory of relativity and the equation E=MC2. He was also the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Biography of Albert Einstein:

Einstein was born on March 14, 1859. This is also why many people like to study and learn about him on Pi Day. He was a German mathematician and theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, which he won the Nobel Prize for in 1921.

This theory is one of the two pillars of modern physics today.

He has a had such an amazing influence in math and science culture. Einstein is known for his genius mind, his creativity, deep thoughts and insightful quotes. You also can’t ever forget his wild and unruly hair that created almost a character out of him.
