Benjamin Franklin could not conduct his famous kite experiment in Philadelphia due to concerns about safety and the unpredictable weather conditions. He sought to demonstrate the electrical nature of lightning, but the risk of being struck by lightning made the experiment perilous. Additionally, Franklin needed a suitable location and favorable conditions to ensure the experiment's success, which may not have been available in Philadelphia at the time.
True that the historical evidence does say that he proposed an experiment, but no evidence says that he actually DID do the experiment.
In 1786 printers in Philadelphia went on strike. Franklin invited them to conduct their meetings at his house. Here he and his fellow printers plotted strategy. He never forgot his working class roots. Out of this strike grew the Franklin Typographical Society. Evidence suggests Franklin wrote the by-laws.
nothing
1919 it was actually 1911 http://www.rsc.org/chemsoc/timeline/pages/1911.html
did Benjamin Franklin conduct safe scientific investigations and how effectively did he communicate his cloncusions

No silk cannot conduct electricity and Benjamin franklin figured that out.

No, Benjamin Franklin was not a storm chaser. He was a statesman, inventor, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Franklin did conduct research on electricity and lightning, famously flying a kite in a thunderstorm to study the properties of lightning.
because the kite string does not conduct electricity, the key does.
The kite experiment (whether or not actually conducted as designed) demonstrates that lightning is a form of electricity. The kite will conduct a static charge from the clouds to the ground, the same electromagnetic properties displayed by rubbing fur on amber, or rotating a magnet within a coil. Michael Faraday, born a year after Franklin's death, pioneered the science of electrical generation.
To conduct in this sense means to do the experiment, to carry it out.
when did Millikan conduct his famous oil drop experiment
It is the thing you conduct your experiment on.
Depends on the experiment...
