2012Â VOYA Nonfiction Honor List Selection 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.
