1. Benjamin Franklin worked with both positive and negative charges in electricity.
2.Lightning is the natural phenomena that is ther build up or release of static charge.

This seminar was great! It was incredibly interactive.

1. Benjamin Franklin distinguished positivie and negative charges.
2. Lightning is a natural phenomenon caused by the build up of static energy. This static energy is then released and is lightning.

I enjoyed this web seminar, it was great to see Dr. Ezrailson going above and beyong simply teaching our class. It also gave me great pride to be an Aggie when everyone posted where they were from… Texas!!

(1) Benjamin Franklin described negative and positive charges when he was experimenting with electricity.
(2) A natural phenomena caused by static charge buildup or release is lightning.

I really enjoyed this seminar. By attending, I was not only reminded of many scientific principles I had forgotten, but also I was able to watch and participate in scientific experiments, etc. that I had not yet had the priviledge of experiencing. Furthermore, my answers to the questions are as follows:

1) Benjamin Franklin described both positive and negative charges when he was experimenting with electricity.

2) Lighting is a natural phenomena that is caused by static charges building up or released.

Before participating in the “Charging Electrostatics” web seminar, I had never done one before. I felt it was very informative and also very interactive. However, I feel that the information presented was very confusing and wasn’t explained all that well. I think web seminars would be a neat way for students to participate in learning when compared to traditional methods, however, not every child may have access to a computer.

Ben Franklin named the charges he worked with as negative and positive but he also thought them as liquid. He described a positive charge as having to much and a negative as having too little.
Lightning is a natural phenomena that occurs from static electricity. I really didn’t know much about it but it was very interesting.

1) Benjamin Franklin named the charges he worked with positive and negative.

2) Lightning is the main natural phenomena caused by static electricity build up.
