Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Apart being a successful statesman, he was also a (create) scientist and inventor.
Benjamin Franklin (fly) a kite during a storm in 1752. He raised the kite with a piece of string (tie) to it. A metal key was attached to the string. A flash of lightning hit the kite, and electricity was conducted through the string to the key. Franklin then touched the key and got electric shock.
Generations of children have been amazed by his (brave) and his scientific approach to (look) for the truth. However, new research suggests that the story may be fiction instead of fact. More than one scientist has questioned really happened. They all agree that if Franklin had (actual) touched the key, he would certainly have died from the electric shock.
In science, facts should (prove) by experiments and research, and we should not always believe everything we read or hear—even if it is a great story.
