Einstein's Big idea

We watched the movie of Einstein's Big Idea. It was about the discovery of the famous equation: E=mc2. It broke down each symbol and gave a background of how each (E=energy, m=matter, and c=the speed of light) and the important people in discovering each symbol necessary for the equation. It was really informative as well as entertaining because besides just saying the information, it was almost like a movie with commentary which held us in interested attention all the while learning at the same time. This movie really helps to understand this classic equation which many people know of, but do not fully comprehend. It's a nice break from all the chem labs we do in class but it was very educational and fun and definitely captured even the most uninterested student's attention. :)
