Benjamin Franklin's Fascination with Electricity
adapted from the National Parks Service

     Benjamin Franklin was fascinated by electricity and gave a lot of his time after he retired to study its properties. Some of his research resulted in "tricks" that he used to amuse others. For example, he made a charged metal spider that moved like the real thing. He discovered new ways to generate, store, and turn on electricity. His design of lightning rods helped prevent untold numbers of structural fires throughout the world.
     His famous kite experiment occurred in June 1752. Franklin asked his son William to fly a kite to which he had attached a wire on top and a key at the end of a string. Ultimately, the kite gathered an electric charge from a storm cloud. Franklin was then able to collect some of the charge and compare it to the electricity he had created in other experiments. He did not mention the experiment until October, four months after it took place, at which point Franklin did not clarify that he had conducted the experiment himself—an issue that has caused some people to doubt Franklin's story.

How does the author support the claim that some people doubt Franklin's famous kite experiment?

The Tree Frogs of Trinidad

     The night air is filled with a strange whistling that seems to come from everywhere at once. The warm breeze carries the sound through the Caribbean island of Trinidad. It is a loud, persistent sound sometimes compared to ocean waves breaking on the sand. This is the call of a tiny tree frog living in the leaves of the tropical rainforest canopy.
     The frog has sandy brown skin with one thin, dark brown stripe running across its upper back and tan underbelly. No bigger than an adult human's thumb, the little frog makes a surprisingly loud call. The males are responsible for the noise. It is how they attract the female frogs.
     The Trinidad tree frogs begin singing shortly after sunset and get more vocal after a rain. They call throughout the rainy season, creating a lovely background sound for tourists visiting the island. The sound is easy to recognize but the frogs are so little they are hard to find. Many Trinidad visitors have spent the better part of an evening trying to track down the source of the sound only to give up in frustration. Most people do not suspect they are looking for such a small animal.
     People who spend more time on the island come to know the familiar evening voices and begin to notice differences among individual frog songs. Each little frog may have a slightly different pitch or a difference in rhythm. Individual frogs also stay in the same place night after night. That makes identifying a specific frog easier. This also works out well for the female frog trying to find her perfect mate.
     Thousands of tiny frogs calling out to each other create a lovely tropical music. And for any visitor, the musical sounds of Trinidad's charming tree frogs are a favorite memory.
