	Every modern Frankenstein play or movie that focused on the electricity as a life giving force, starting with Peggy Webbling's 1927 play, would fit the science aspect. However, the original 'Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus,' is a retelling of the Golem story from Jewish folklore and doesn't feature any science descriptions or inventions, apart from a reference to electricity and galvanism theories in chapter 2 that isn't expanded on. The first ever Frankenstein movie in 1910, by Thomas Edison, reflects Shelley's story the most accurately, though with the monster coming together in a caldron.
