1752+When+Ben+and+his+son+did+the+famous+kite+experiment

The Best Experiment Ever! By Cole

Ben Franklin was a great man. He did many experiments but my favorite was his kite experiment. He and his son tied a key to a kite string and flew it one stormy night. They waited for lightning to strike to see if lightning was electricity. They waited and waited until a bolt struck. They were so excited. They had discovered that lightning was not just a bolt of light but electricity!!! Then they put the lightning in a laden jar. This happened in 1752. The rest is history. That is my favorite experiment ever!!!
