Celebrating the Outstanding Work of our Students “Heroes and Role Models: Why Albert Einstein Did Not Become a Bar Mitzvah” by Irene Grosso March 19, 1999 Becoming a bat mitzvah is a time to think about who my role models and heroes are. To me, a role model is someone who influences you to do good. The person I chose as my role model is Albert Einstein who was born on March 14, 1879 and died on April 18, 1955. The first reason I chose Albert Einstein is because he is the most famous Jew of the 20th century. He became famous for being smart.
Doctor Richard P. Feynman is a little known scientist to the public, despite his ground-breaking and influential works in physics. Best known for his work on quantum electrodynamics (Weisstein) and the Manhattan Project (Richard Phillips), he is considered one of the most influential scientists in recent history, and is partly responsible for popularizing the sciences to the public. Despite all of his innumerable accolades, he is one of the lesser known scientists of recent history for what he accomplished. Doctor Feynman was born on the 11th of May, 1918 in Manhattan, New York, and was the son of Lucille and Melville Feynman. Both of his parents originated from Russia and Poland, as both were Ashkenazi Jews.
The first time she began to adore astronomy was when she helped her father built a small observatory. She had many things going for her like becoming a librarian, working with her father at a bank but, science was the one thing she enjoyed and wanted to pursue the most. Marie Mitchell was born and raised in Nantucket, Massachusetts on August 1st, 1887 and died June 28th, 1889. She was raised by her Quaker parents William Mitchell and Lydia Coleman. Her parents highly valued education and wanted her to receive the same education that boys receive.
Robert Hooke was perhaps the single greatest experimental scientist of the seventeenth century. His interests knew no bounds, ranging from physics and astronomy, to chemistry, biology, and geology, to architecture and naval technology; he collaborated or corresponded with scientists as diverse as Christian Huygens, Antony van Leeuwenhoek, Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle, and Isaac Newton. Among other accomplishments, he invented the universal joint, the iris diaphragm, and an early prototype of the respirator; invented the anchor escapement and the balance spring, which made more accurate clocks possible; served as Chief Surveyor and helped rebuild London after the Great Fire of 1666; worked out the correct theory of combustion; devised
The outbreak of the first World War provided him with an opportunity for a fresh start. It was a chance for him to become involved in proving that Germany was superior to other European countries. Rejecting the idea of fighting for Austria, Hitler volunteered for the German army and was accepted into the 16th Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment. Hitler fought bravely in the war and was promoted to corporal and decorated with both the Iron Cross Second Class and First Class, the latter of which he wore until his dying day [ironically the regimental captain who recommended him for the award was Jewish]. Adolf Hitler was then hospitalized with temporary blindness from a British gas attack.
There were many important advancements made during the scientific revolution, but none more important than the work of Isaac Newton. Newton led a somewhat troubled childhood to become possibly the greatest influence on mathematics and science in the history of mankind. Primarily, he was a physicist, but he was also a mathematician, astronomer, philosopher and alchemist. Aside from all of his theories and discoveries he completely revolutionized the approach to science and was a key catalyst to the Scientific Revolution. Isaac Newton was born prematurely on January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe Lincolnshire England.
April Campbell Discovery of a Time Capsule September 4, 2013 PS 440 Abnormal Psychology Professor John Wilkes Discovery of a Time Capsule Introduction Hello, You are the lucky one who has discovered this invaluable of gatherings of the 1960's.

OUR FOUNDING FATHER BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BRANDIE JACKSON COLLEGE AMERICA Benjamin Franklin our 6th president was born January 17, 1706, in Boston MA. His education was Boston Latin School 1714-1716. He was given the Copley award which is an award for outstanding achievements in research in any branch of science it was given by the Royal Society of London. Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity, and founded the first library. He was put to work at the age of 10 by his father making soap and candles; he didn’t like that too much, so he started writing newspapers with his brother.
It was the theme music for the popular movie Blackboard Jungle. 1955 Einstein Albert Einstein developed the Theory of Relativity in 1903 and was considered one the world's smartest scientists. He became a popular figure in the later years of his life. He died in
Albert Einstein is known as the greatest scientist of all time. He has won many awards including the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921. Einstein wrote a letter to a sixth grade student who had asked him if scientist prayed and if so what for. He answers Phyllis’ question by showing he is a trustworthy scientist, giving logic information and evidence, and using emotion to show what he thinks and feels about the question. Albert first shows the student that he is a credible person that she is able to trust by starting his answer off telling her that he will answer her question and “simply” as he could.
