•In 600 BC Thales of Miletus discovered that when he rubbed amber with a piece of wool or fur, the amber attracted straw and feathers.]]> 2021-06-04 08:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lidiasantosguerra/cjd72mnf0hsv53yu/wish/1584800921 lidiasantosguerra https://padlet.com/lidiasantosguerra/cjd72mnf0hsv53yu/wish/1584813729 WILLIAM GILBERT 1600
•Gilbert studied the properties of magnets and discovered the laws of attraction and repulsion between amber and magnets. 
•He was the first person to use the word 'electric'. 
•He discovered that the Earth is a giant magnet.]]> 2021-06-04 08:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lidiasantosguerra/cjd72mnf0hsv53yu/wish/1584813729 lidiasantosguerra https://padlet.com/lidiasantosguerra/cjd72mnf0hsv53yu/wish/1589481027 OTTO VON GUERICKE 1663
•Guericke invented the first electric generator which produced static electricity. 
•The machine had a globe and when he rubbed it, it produced an electric spark.]]> 2021-06-07 09:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lidiasantosguerra/cjd72mnf0hsv53yu/wish/1589481027 lidiasantosguerra https://padlet.com/lidiasantosguerra/cjd72mnf0hsv53yu/wish/1589491168 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN 1752
•Franklin proved that lightning is a form of electricity.
•He tied an iron rod to the silk string of a kite. At the end of the string he put a key. During a thunderstorm, lightning travelled down the string and charged the key.]]> 2021-06-07 09:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lidiasantosguerra/cjd72mnf0hsv53yu/wish/1589491168 lidiasantosguerra https://padlet.com/lidiasantosguerra/cjd72mnf0hsv53yu/wish/1589498282 ALESSANDRO VOLTA 1790
•He built the first battery. 
•This poducedthe first continuous flow of electricity.
•The invention of the battery encouraged other scientists to investigate practical uses for electricity.]]> 2021-06-07 09:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lidiasantosguerra/cjd72mnf0hsv53yu/wish/1589498282 lidiasantosguerra https://padlet.com/lidiasantosguerra/cjd72mnf0hsv53yu/wish/1589506093 HANS CHRISTIAN OERSTED 1819
•Oersted discovered electromagntism.
