At the age of five, his father showed him a compass. He was amazed by how the needle
always pointed north and guessed that there was a special ‘pull’ that people could not see. After
this, he had a huge interest in science. Although he did well in science and mathematics,
throughout school he was an ‘average’ student. In fact, he even failed his first exam to get into
university, because of his bad grades in history, languages and geography.
Despite all this, Einstein went on to become one of the most important men in physics. He
won many awards for his research, including the most impressive of them all, the Nobel Prize in
Physics in 1921.
