In 1752, Benjamin Franklin had a theory that lightning was electricity. He wanted to prove that the power could be transferred t

o other objects. He grabbed a kite and experimented on a stormy afternoon.
Franklin believed that thunder clouds contained electrical charges. His plan was to fly the kite into the clouds so that electricity passed down the wet kite string. With Benjamin Franklinas his assistant, he went to work.

First, he tied an iron key to the silk kite string. Next, he ran a metal wire from the key into a jar designed to store electrical charges. Once the kite was in the air, he stood in a barn to keep safe and dry.

Soon, electrical charges from the clouds passed into the kite. They traveled along the wet string, to the key, down the wire, and into the jar. When Franklin reached his hand toward the key, he received a mild shock. The electricity had been captured and transferred. The experiment was a success.

At least it was for Benjamin Franklin. Other scientists were killed trying to duplicate his efforts. Looking back, it was not the safest way to test his theory. In this case, it worked out, and paved the way for future discoveries about electricity.

Law: People that have turned in all assignments due for the day and have a B or higher in the class get 15 minutes of free time at the end of the class. They can utilize this time for homework, phone time, socializing time, or with other school appropriate activities.

Why: This law can motivate students to do well in the class and complete all assignments. In the long run this law can be beneficial to the students education. Not only will they be motivated to have good grades, but it might boost moral. Students might no longer dread the long hours of lecture and assignments if they have a reward for their hard work to look forward to.

Hope this helped!

Describing the state of europe after the war
grandymaker [24]

The beliefs that dominated Europe about the "glory of war fighting" were dispelled by the end of the First World War. There was a strong sense of forlornness and desolation that dominated Europe after WWI. On one hand, the economic and human cost of the war was unimaginable.

HOPE THIS HELPED!!! XD
