Special Theory of Relativity made simple!

Review first published on jenasbookreviews.blogspot.comGedanken has a science project due for school so she goes to her Uncle Albert for help. He informs her of an experiment he has been working on and this new thing he has discovered, a thought bubble, where experiments can be conducted that can't be done on Earth. She agrees to go into the thought bubble to chase a light beam and try to catch one. She can't but they do learn a few things from her first attempt and several more attempts are made as they discover strange things with each experiment. She is finally able to complete her project which earns her a good grade.In reality, Uncle Albert is Albert Einstein and this book is exploring his Special Theory of Relativity in an easier to understand way. I'm definitely a fan of the way it was presented and have gotten the other books in the series for my youngest although I look forward to reading them as well. A nice, gentle introduction to relativity for the young or old.

Great book

Great book, but if you're a parent, read it first to being able of understanding your children after they read the book.Great approach! easy and funny to read while extremely interesting. My daughter loved it (she read it being 12 yo) and of course got a better score at the end quiz than I did.

Spark kids imaginations

I heard about this book on NPR and thoroughly enjoyed reading it at breakfast this morning. A 10 year old child and on up would thoroughly enjoy the story and tackling the concepts presented. The author was a Professor of Physics who felt kids could understand the concepts of physics if they were introduced to them in story form. Kids love a challenge and lots of them could handle this one.

Makes complex scientific principles simple and interesting

My son and I enjoy these and have learned a lot freakishly weird concepts that would otherwise be difficult to wrap our minds around.
