3. Childhood Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany.
Albert had a younger sister, Maria.
His father had an electric business.
His father and uncle taught Albert science and math.
When Albert was 15 years old, the father’s electric business in Munich, Germany failed and the family moved to Milan, Italy.

4. Education
Albert was good at math, but he did not follow teachers’ rules and did not like to be told what to do.
At school, Albert liked Latin Grammar because it is logical.
Albert wanted to attend Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, but he failed the entrance exams. He had to prepare for exams for another year and got accepted at the Institute in 1896.

5. Jobs
After graduating from the Institute, Albert Einstein wanted to stay there and teach physics, but the teachers did not want to help him because he was rude to others.
Albert’s first job was at the patent office in Bern, Switzerland. He studied the descriptions of inventions that people sent to the patent office.
He used his free time to develop his own theories that would change science forever.

6. Theories and Inventions
1905, is considered a Miracle Year for Albert Einstein because he published 4 papers in physics.
Albert explained what light is and how it acts.
He proved the existence of tiny molecules and atoms and also described how they moved.
Then his explanations of the relationships among ,space time , and objects in motion.
The famous equation E=mc² means that the energy in a object is equal to its mass multiplied by the speed of light then multiplied by the speed of light again.
Last he called the system the General Theory of Relativity.

7. Immigration to the USA
World War I was over, and there were many problems in Germany. The Nazi regime comes to power. It discriminated all races that were not Arian race.
In 1921 Albert Einstein toured the United States to help raise money for the Hebrew University in Israel.

In 1955 April 18 Albert died in Princeton, New Jersey.

8. How Did the Inventions Change the World?
Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity changed how people thought about molecules, atoms, space, time, objects in motion, stars, eclipses, and the main things in Physics.
