One day he heard from a friend that something black in colour holds the heat better than something white in colour. Franklin wanted to find out if this was true or not.
There was snow on the ground at the time. So he put two large pieces of cloth over the snow. One piece of cloth was black in colour, the other piece was white. Then he waited until the sun began to shine.
