Thunder & Lightning
Know that thunder and lightning happen during thunderstorms: lightning is a giant spark of electricity that forms in clouds, thunder is the sound the lightning makes, and we see lightning before hearing thunder because light travels faster than sound
Typical age: 7–9 years
“During a thunderstorm, can your child explain that lightning is electricity in the clouds, thunder is its sound, and that we see the flash before the boom because light is faster than sound?”
