Not bad for someone who struggled at school. Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany in 1879. As a schoolboy, his work didn't scream "genius" and even his teachers found it hard to reconcile the student they had known with the great scientist he later became. After finally graduating from the Polytechnic School in Zurich, he couldn't find a job in a university so he worked for the Swiss Patent Office and spent his spare time working on theoretical physics problems. The time that Einstein spent thinking about physics rather than patent applications was well spent and in 1905, whilst still at the patent office, he published three papers in the leading German physics journal, Annalen der Physik. These papers on Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect and special relativity contained explanations and ideas that changed the way we all view the world. At the age of just 26, Einstein's had produced not one, but three groundbreaking pieces of work. By the time he finally found an academic job in 1909, Einstein's reputation as one of the greatest scientists of all time was spreading rapidly. And in 1915, at the age of 36, Einstein produced his theory of general relativity which delved even further into the workings of the universe.

Extractions: OPTICS FOR KIDS: Science and Engineering by Bruce Irving, Optical Research Associates A NOTE TO PARENTS AND TEACHERS: Elementary school children might enjoy this quick look at some optical basics, especially if coupled with some experiments from the Optics Discovery Kit from OSA or some creative play with the commercial program ZAP! . There's also a bit of a pep talk on science and engineering as careers. Please share this with your kids! Please note also that ORA does not sell lenses or other optical "hardware" for experiments. A local science or children's museum may sell simple lenses, prisms, mirrors, etc. Edmund Scientifics is a good source for all sorts of optical and other scientific items for experimenters. Laser pointers are now quite inexpensive and can be used for optical experiments with colored filters, lenses, and optical fibers. You can buy laser pointers at office supply and electronics stores. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH LASERS.
