June is a wonderful time to study inventors with your class! On June 10, 1752 Benjamin Franklin famously flew a kite during a thunderstorm. When his kite was struck by lightning he collected the charge in a Leyden jar (a vessel for storing static electricity between two electrodes) This allowed Franklin to demonstrate electricity in lightning.
In Benjamin Franklin, my first-grade Level G reader, students will learn about this famous American statesman, writer, printer, scientist, and inventor.
My other original books on inventors include my first-grade level F reader Garrett Morgan: Inventor, Alexander Graham Bell- Inventor of the Telephone, and Robert Fulton - Steamboat Inventor.
