Einstein 102: “Einstein and the Black Fabric of Space”
Grades 3-8 and Family Nights, 45-60 minutes Albert Einstein is portrayed by Dr. Arden Bercovitz, a research scientist and a credentialed teacher who loves science and math. Dr. B knows how to grab your kids’ attention, and encourage their interest in science and math. “Einstein's” stories engage your kids as he shares how he came up with the ideas that changed our world. Einstein will stimulate your students’ natural curiosity, and take them through several wonderful imagination-stretching experiences to help them learn new ways of thinking in these “minds-on” assemblies and family evenings. Volunteers conduct “thought” experiments that take the entire room through a process of understanding gravity, mass, volume, bending space and black holes. The energy is simply electric when the entire audience simultaneously forms a correct hypothesis about what happens next. Yes-timonials!™ “Thank you so much for your presentation of Albert Einstein. The older kids were quite taken with your living biography and challenge to think for themselves. I appreciate your reference to the true definition of genius. We thank you for helping to open our minds.” Barbara Shelton, PTA, Hazelwood Elementary “Students were captivated! Questions from the audience triggered so many interesting and informative anecdotes. While 'Einstein' was speaking with the TAG students, the expression of intense interest on their faces was most rewarding. Your explanations of Einstein's theories challenged and motivated my students to continue their own research.” Jackie Allphin, GATE Coordinator/Librarian, Narrows View Intermediate Terrific for Family Nights! Parents will be surprised to discover how much their kids are learning. This program will open parents’ minds, too. They will see their kids with a fresh perspective. New lines of communication will open up. “Einstein was fabulous! Kids and their parents loved it! One student said her head was spinning from so many new ideas!” Jessica Dusek, GATE Coordinator, Creekside Elementary |
