Benjamin Franklin for Kids: Inventor, Scientist, and Founding Father
In this social studies lesson, kids learn about Benjamin Franklin, an important inventor, scientist, and Founding Father of the United States. In this video, I introduce students to Benjamin Franklin’s life and explain how his curiosity and hard work led to important inventions and scientific discoveries. Kids also learn about his role in early American history and how he helped shape the United States as a Founding Father. This lesson is designed for elementary students and is great for class
How it works
- Press play to start the video.
- Videos 5 minutes or longer pause once or twice for a quick check. Get it right and you're on your way. If not, you'll see a friendly explanation and the video simply keeps going. Short videos skip the checks.
- At the end there's a 2-question test. Score 60% or more to complete the lesson, and 80% or more to master it. You can always watch again and try for a higher score.
