Albert Einstein
From life to laboratory: an informational document about the world’s greatest scientist;
By Gabe
Hello! I am researching Albert Einstein, the world’s greatest scientist. Today we will be talking about his discoveries, fame, and life.
It all started on March 14th, 1879; the day Albert Einstein was born. Einstein was born in Ulm, a town in Germany. He died at age 76. Einstein’s last words were spoken in German to a nurse who did not understand the language and thus are shrouded in mystery.1
Aside from that, I would like to point out that Einstein was in the “e” section in world book.2 He was also on Wikipedia.1 He was so famous that his brain was preserved by doctors.3
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new” -Albert Einstein3
Einstein’s inventions and creations are Avogadro's Number, Brownian movement, Quantum theory of light, General theory of relativity, Special theory of relativity, The Photoelectric effect, Wave-Particle duality, the relationship between mass and energy Bose-Einstein condensate, and many, many, many more.4
I am a major fan of what Albert Einstein did. I hope you are too, because if you want to research more about him, here are the sources I used:

Caesar
By: Gabriele
Caesar was born on July 12, 100 BC and was 55 years old when he was assassinated. Caesars father was named Gius Julius Caesar and his mother was named Aurelia. When he was 17, Caesar married the lovely Cornelia. They had two daughters named Caesarion and Julia Caesaris. They also adopted a boy; the boy's name was Agustus. Agustus later became the emperor of all the Roman territory. Fun Fact: did you know that Caesars real name was Gius Julius Caesar II and
Caesar enlisted in the roman army and rose up the ranks and led a campaign into the Balkans. Then Caesar then wanted to invade Gaul, (France and part of Germany). He amassed an army and invaded Gaul, during this period he won over twenty-five battles and was only defeated twice! Ceasar invaded England/Britannia twice and concerned southern Britannia/England. Caesars' famous words were Veni,Vidi,Vici. which translates in English, I came, I saw, I concerned.
Caesars' victories in Gaul were starting to make another console in Rome jealous, Pompey. Pompey told the conservatives to disband Caesars army, then they ordered Caesar to disband his army. Caesar replied by marching 5,000 soldiers across the Rubicon, a river that separated Caesars providences from Italy. He defeated Pompey's army at the battle of Pharsalus, a victory for Caesar. Pompey fled to the Balkans, Caesar followed and defeated Pompey once again. Pompey fled to Egypt and was killed by the Egyptians, then the Egyptians then showed Pompey's head to Caesar. He then attacked the Egyptians and gave the throne of Egypt to Cleopatra, the king of Egypt's sister. He then returned to Rome in triumph.
Caesar was killed by Brutus Gius Cassius, Marcus Junus and several other roman aristocrats on March,15 44 BC the “Ides of March”. According to Shakespeare Caesars last words were “Et Ut, Brute?”. Caesar was buried at the temple of Divius Julius, Rome.
In conclusion, Caesar was a clever politician, a brilliant general, a smart tactician and ruler of all the Mediterranean! I learned a lot about Caesars' life and other people affected by his life. Sources:
