Biff: He believed there was only one kind of electricity, but it had two different charges.
Ruby: He called them positive and negative.
Biff: Ben's ideas became the new understanding for electricity as we know it today.
Pete: So, Ben didn't actually discover electricity. But he did figure out some of its mysteries and helped the world to understand it.
Ruby: That's right, Pete! In 1752, with a glass and amber rods, he decided to see if he could draw electricity from a thundercloud.
Pete: That must be his son, William, running to launch the kite.
Biff: Their kite is made of silk. It will hold up better in the rain than a paper kite.
Ruby: They're standing under the roof of a shed to keep from getting wet. It looks like William is becoming impatient.
Great job!!! |
