<h1>⚡ Amazing Ben Franklin</h1>
<h2>Week 26 • Wednesday • Hands-On: Inventor, Printer, Founding Father</h2>
<section class="lesson-section">
<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>Benjamin Franklin was one of the most amazing Founding Fathers. He started as a poor printer's helper and taught himself almost everything!</p>
<p>Ben was a famous <strong>inventor</strong>. He invented bifocal glasses, a special stove, and even swim fins! His most famous experiment used a kite in a storm to study lightning, which led to the <strong>lightning rod</strong> that protects buildings.</p>
<p>Ben also started a library, a fire department, and a hospital. He loved wise sayings, like "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." When America needed help, old Ben sailed to France and convinced the French to join the fight for independence.</p>
