    Science

    I can explain thunder and lightning and the thunderstorm safety rule.

    Why Thunder Booms

    Thunderstorms grow from tall, dark clouds. Lightning is a giant spark of electricity. It heats the air around it in a flash. The hot air spreads out so fast that it makes a boom. That boom is thunder. If you can hear thunder, lightning is close enough to matter, so head inside. Storms pass, and a calm plan keeps everyone safe.

    Count the seconds from flash to thunder. Divide by 5 to find about how many miles away the lightning was.

    1. 1.

      20 seconds

    2. 2.

      25 seconds

    3. 3.
