Albert Einstein

By Sankarshana Sai . T
 Childhood
• Albert Einstein was born in
Germany on the 14th March
1879.
• Einstein’s parents were both
Jewish and he had a younger
sister called Maja.
• Although he apparently didn’t
like school, Einstein showed he
had a great mind for maths
and science from a young age.
 Start of his interest
• When he was just five years old, his father
bought him a compass. His enquiring mind
immediately started trying to work out just
why the needle always pointed north!
 Education

• When Einstein was 15, his

family moved to Milan in
Italy. From there he attended
the Polytechnic Academy in
the Swiss city of Zurich.
• In 1900
Einstein graduated with a
degree in physics and math's.
The Beginning
Einstein began to make his
mark after he took a job at
the Patent Office in Bern,
where he looked into other
people’s inventions. While he
was there he worked on his
own discoveries and found
out many things that became
of great importance in the
world of physics.
Theory of Relativity

Einstein is probably most

famous for his ‘theory of
relativity’ and the equation he
made famous, e=mc², which
proved that even the smallest
amount of mass (basically the
stuff that’s in everything!) can
be turned into a huge amount
of energy.
