How Successful Was David Franklin's Experiment
Franklin's experiments were about creating static electricity. He observed that almost all the experiments used static electricity and was pretty successful. Like in this experiment "A person standing on wax and rubbing the tube; and another person on wax drawing the fire, they will both of them (provided they do not stand so as to touch one another) appear to be electrised to a person standing on the floor; that is, he will perceive a spark on approaching each of them." That is a successful experiment because it had a spark . But in in experiment two it says that neither of them will appear to be electrised so it was not successful because nothing happens. In 3 out of 4 experiments he found electricity and they were successful. So therefore

    Experiment 4a

    We placed the zinc inside the beaker and slowly poured the hydrochloric acid into the beaker. As soon as the acid entered the beaker, there was a sizzling sound and bubbles started to form as we add more of the substance in. When the bubbles were forming, we could see a steam of gas coming out of the beaker. After 10 minutes, we noticed bits of zinc were floating on top of the hydrochloric acid and lining the beaker. I lifted the beaker and felt the bottom and it felt warm, which meant the reaction was still happening. After 20 minutes, we added water into the zinc and hydrochloric acid to stop the reaction and we observed a slight cloudy colour (still clear) forming as we slowly pour the water in the beaker.…

    The Marion Experiment Summary

    Stephen C. Richards, an ex-convict who served time in nine federal prisons before earning his PhD in criminology, argues the supermax prison era began in 1983 at USP Marion in southern Illinois, where the first “control units” were built by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The Marion Experiment, written from a convict criminology perspective, offers an introduction to long-term solitary confinement and supermax prisons, followed by a series of first-person accounts by prisoners—some of whom are scholars—previously or currently incarcerated in high-security facilities, including some of the roughest prisons in the western world. According to Richards, the act of holding children in solitary confinement has been a fundamental component in the process…

    John Hope Franklin Research Paper

    The interviews I have chosen for this assignment is the Julian Bond and John Hope Franklin interview. I find it interesting that both men are drawn to Thomas Jefferson because of the actions he had done during the period of the Revolution. With Thomas Jefferson being label as a Renaissance man by John Hope Franklin and an agronomist and an avid bibliophile. I am fascinated on how John Hope Franklin expressed why he was drawn to Thomas Jefferson, he stated that it was because he declared that he was the author of the Declaration of Independence, the author of Virginia Statute of Religious Liberties, and the founding father of the University of Virginia. It has dawned to me that Julian Bond had also expressed that Thomas Jefferson's intellect was far ranged and that made him one of the fascinating…
