Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.

Have you heard of Albert Einstein, he is the scientist with puffy hair. Albert Einstein was born in the year 1879 in a town in Germany called Ulm. His mother was called Pauline and father was called Herman. He was a very smart scientist. He made 3 theories.

When he was still small he moved to Munich, Germany. He learned to talk when he was 3. He was forced to learn violin. When he was older his uncle showed him magnets, he was fascinated of how they worked. His father was a engineer. His sister Maja was born on 1881 she and Albert liked playing together. His uncle also developed his interests in mathematics. He wasn’t good in school because he kept on thinking of his own interests.

Albert married Mileva Maric in 1903. In 1915 he published the general theory, after that he married Elsa Lowenthal. The cause of the general theory made the president Roosevelt make atom bomb. In 1939 Einstein wrote to president Roosevelt the dangers of atom bombs. The president didn’t listen in 1942. The project was launched. Here are some other theories that Einstein made. The special theory of relativity it is about a train it goes 50 meters per second. If you roll a ball on the train in the train, on the train you see it as 2 meters per second but of the train the ball is 52 meters per second the next one is about the speed of light on a train the light goes up and down but of the train the light goes right and left. He died in 1955.

I chose this hero because he is clever and found out many things about science. I could be more like him by sharing ideas. The characteristics he shows are inquirer, communicator and thinker.
