Describe the picture using the words below. Have you heard of this experiment? What do you think Franklin was trying to discover?

The picture shows a famous experiment carried out by Benjamin Franklin in the mid-18th century. In the experiment, Franklin attached a key to a kite and flew it during a thunderstorm. He used a cord to fly the kite and was hoping to discover more about electricity, particularly lightning. The stormclouds provided the conditions needed for the experiment, and when the kite was struck by lightning, Franklin saw a spark jump from the key to his hand. This confirmed his theory that lightning was a form of electricity. The experiment was a significant step forward in understanding electricity and its properties.
