Electricity - Ben Frankin

[jsfowler]

I am starting my part of an interdisciplinary unit on the Declaration of Independence. I chose to focus on Ben Franklin since he was also a scientist/inventor. I thought I had this unit together but my students are really into this and I will probably extend it one week. Before I scramble to various websites searching for info, I thought I would ask the pros. Any ideas on Ben Franlkin - specifically electricity and/or other scientific breakthroughs?

I love the book "Ben and Me". It is about a mouse that lives in Franklin's hat and gives him advice on his inventions.
