Free Activities, Lessons, and Printables about Electricity
We are celebrating Benjamin Franklin’s birthday, January 17th, by sharing lots of Free Activities, Lessons, and Printables about Electricity. He was a multi-talented man with his most famous role probably being that he was the inventor of the lightning rod. But he had many other inventions as well, such as swim fins, the rocking chair, bifocal lenses, the Franklin stove, and the glass armonica. He has an amazing list of achievements crossing a vast body of knowledge including literature, printing, business, entrepreneurship, science, engineering, technology, politics, philosophy, environment, arts, and public service. And last, but not least, he also played a very crucial role in the American Revolution!!
This set of freebies is part of a new series we will be featuring weekly, Freebie Friday. Each week we will focus on a new theme. Watch for articles, both from our team and guest writers, as well as some of our social media posts to focus on this new weekly theme. We will share several freebies each week related to the topic, but there will always be several that are just of interest to homeschoolers. So even if the theme is not of interest, be sure to come looking for the Freebie Friday post to get the other freebies as well. NOTE: the freebies will only be free for the week after publication, so be sure to grab them while you can. And please help us get the word out about this new series by sharing with your homeschool friends as well!
