written by
Robert Morse
published by the Wright Center for Science Education Tufts University
This unique resource integrates the scientific work of Ben Franklin with lab procedures for replicating historic experiments in secondary classrooms. Writings and historical observations are woven into lab descriptions to give students a better insight into Franklin's work. Videos of some of the experiments are also provided. This introductory section describes the history of Franklin's work, and provides details of the equipment that will be used for the entire unit.
Please note that this resource requires Quicktime.
This resource is part of 3 Physics Front Topical Units.
Topic: "Static" Electricity
Unit Title: Teaching About Electrostatics This unique resource integrates the scientific work of Ben Franklin with lab guides for replicating historic experiments in secondary classrooms.

Topic: "Static" Electricity
Unit Title: Electric Force This is a wonderful collection of materials on the scientific works of Benjamin Franklin, integrating historical background with descriptions of the actual lab experiments. The lab guides explain how to set up identical (or very similar) experiments in the classroom and provides video how-to's for several lessons. Link to Unit:
Topic: "Static" Electricity
Unit Title: Franklin and Electrostatics This is the introductory segment of materials by author Robert Morse on the scientific works of Benjamin Franklin. It integrates historical background and primary source documents alongside lesson plans for setting up identical (or very similar) experiments in the classroom. It includes a template for building a generator, plus video how-to's for several lessons. Link to Unit:
