Michael had to do a biography project for school. He had to do a book report and an oral report--with a PUPPET. Yep. A puppet of the person. Since he is interested in being a scientist, he picked Albert Einstein.
And this weekend, we made not one, but TWO sock puppets of Albert Einstein.
We used an old pair of dad's socks, and these materials:
One of the things they were graded on was if the puppet looked like the famous person. We lucked out, because Einstein is basically the hair and the mustache.
The reason for two Einsteins, to explain his theory of relativity which tells us that the faster you travel through space, the slower you travel through time.
(His twin paradox says: "Consider a pair of brothers, identical twins. One gets a job as an astronaut and rockets into deep space. The other stays on Earth. When the traveling twin returns home, he discovers he's younger than his brother.")
So, the two puppets helped to represent this theory during the oral report. These are the puppets drying.
I was going to take pictures today of Michael with the puppets, but he had to hand them in. Grade on the whole project: 96%
Good job, Michael!

How cool is that! I love that he picked Einstein, and the puppets turned out great. Great job!
The puppets turned out WONDERFULLY! What a great idea!
So they'll give the puppets back with his grade?
YAY Michael! What a cool project.
OMG, those are so awesome! I love the puppets and I imagine he did a great job explaining the whole thing.
Those are AWESOME!
I wouldn't even know where to start with a sock puppet of Albert Einstein. They look fantastic.
That. Is. Awesome.
my nerdy self is very impressed.
cool nerds rule! great idea.
Cute puppets. Great job!
Great puppets and great score! Way to go, Michael!
"the faster you travel through space, the slower you travel through time."
I'd never heard it explained that way!
What a great way to illustrate the concept. The puppets turned out really well!
Great job on the puppets!
What awesome looking sock puppets. I giggled at the first picture with the sock and all the hair. So looks like Einstein!
Love the puppets - what a cute idea! Thank you for coming over and checking me out on Heart Cries! :)
That looks just like Einstein!
Wow! How neat!! WTG Michael!
Those def look like Einstein.
And kudos to Micheal for wanting to be a scientist instead of a rock star!
