Benjamin Franklin's Descovery of Electricity Demonstration

Franklin came up with an experiment to prove that electricity and lightening were the same thing. He conducted an experiment by flying a kite in a lightening storm on June 15, 1752. From his experiment he devised the lightening rod. He also came up with important concepts in meteorology and refrigeration.
The purpose of this short animation is to visually demonstrate Frankin and his experiment.
