Write an example about the power of curiosity. 5 While-writing As Albert Einstein said, "I am only passionately curious." History proves curiosity brings new discoveries. Curiosity helps us find amazing things. Benjamin Franklin is a great example. He was curious about the nature of electricity and did research by flying a kite in a storm. His curiosity led to the lightning rod—a new discovery protecting buildings worldwide. Similarly, Marie Curie was curious about mysterious rays. She stuck to her research for years, testing over 4,000 materials. This brought the discovery of radium, which advanced cancer treatment. Every great invention begins with a curious mind! Like Jacques Cousteau claimed, "Curiosity is the key to nature’s keyhole." We can change the world.  Write an example about the power of curiosity. 5 While-writing Step 4 Check.
