benjamin franklin flies a kite by eduardo mata

in 1752, benjamin franklin had a theory that lightning was electricity. he wanted to prove that the power could be transferred to 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 his son, william, as 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.

a shocking and stormy night by prentice newton
i saw a shocking thing last night that i can’t quite explain.
on the street outside my window, a man stood in the rain.
twas strange to see him all alone on such a stormy night.
who goes out in a thunderstorm and tries to fly a kite?
he tied a key around the string then looked up to the sky.
he showed no fear as thunder crashed then launched the kite up high.
i found the whole thing frightening from the safety of my room.
i watched each flash of lightning with a growing sense of doom.
then a burst of light struck the kite. it glowed as if on fire.
the string lit up as if it were a red-hot piece of wire.
and in the midst of all of this my eyes beheld the key.
it danced upon the kite string as if filled with energy.
down on the ground, quite safe and sound, the man was dancing, too.
the reason for his happiness? i have not got a clue.
was he just that he survived or was it something more?
my curiosity was sparked, but i’ll never know for sure.

Iwill only mark brainliest if you get it correct. read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. examine the diagram and text: you see water all around you every day as lakes, rivers, ice, rain and snow. there are also vast amounts of water that are unseen—water existing in the ground. and even though groundwater is unseen, it is moving below your feet right now. as part of the water cycle, groundwater is a major contributor to flow in many streams and rivers and has a strong influence on river and wetland habitats for plants and animals. people have been using groundwater for thousands of years and continue to use it today, largely for drinking water and irrigation. life on earth depends on groundwater just as it does on surface water. there are rivers flowing below our feet … a myth? have you ever heard that there are rivers of water flowing underground? do you think it’s true? actually, it is pretty much a myth. even though there are some caverns, lava, and ice tubes, and horizontal springs that can carry water, the vast majority of underground water occupies the space between rocks and subsurface material. some rivers, such as the alpha river in northern florida, usa, can disappear underground during low flow periods. generally, water underground is more like water in a sponge. it occupies the space is between soil and rock particles. at a certain depth below the land surface, the spaces between the soil and rock particles can be totally filled with water, resulting in an aquifer from which groundwater can be pumped into used by people. courtesy of the u. s. geological survey is there missing or extraneous information in this diagram? are all of the details in the text relevant and accurate? explain using details from the text.
