Here are the details: Revolutionary Science: Natural Philosophical Demonstrations circa 1775 Monday, April 18: 11:0am - 12:00pm Harvard Science Center Hall B, 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge Ever wonder what it was like to attend Harvard College in the mid-1700s? Join Harvard’s Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments faculty to recreate some 18th century electrical experiments straight out of the lecture notes of Professor John Winthrop and the demonstrations at Faneuil Hall by Ebenezer Kinnersley, Benjamin Franklin’s friend. Witness the surprising effects of electrical attraction and repulsion! A fire lit by water! Bells rung by an invisible, imponderable fluid! And a warning to all who do not have lightning rods: the blowing up of the Thunder House! Experiments will be performed with vintage and replica instruments by Sara Schechner and Daniel Rosenberg.
