Who Was Benjamin Franklin?
Benjamin Franklin was a famous American writer, statesman,
inventor and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States —
he was part of the drafting of the Declaration of Independence.

Franklin started exploring electricity and proposed an experiment


to prove that lightning was electricity by flying a kite in a
thunderstorm. This experiment involved using an iron rod and
extracting electrical sparks from a storm cloud. Terms used today,
such as battery, charge, conductor and electrify, were first
formulated by Franklin.

He was responsible for some other inventions and discoveries,


including the Franklin stove, bifocals — glasses that can be used
for both distance and reading — and the Gulf Stream. He also
invented a musical instrument called the armonica. Beethoven
and Mozart both composed music for the instrument.

Franklin achieved many things during his lifetime and is now


considered to be one of the greatest Americans to have ever lived.
His face appears on the hundred-dollar bill.
