Albert Einstein - Science Superstar

Albert Einstein was always asking questions. He was amazed at many science concepts, such as light, gravity, and time. His sense of WONDER led him to discover many new ideas about those terms. Today lots of people use his name to mean genius, saying "You're a regular Einstein." Start wondering and you can end up a genius too.

Quotes:

"Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character."

"Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater."

"Imagination is more important than knowledge..."

Fun Facts
