Lightning by Colton

Have you ever been by a lightning strike?



Lighting is a bunch of electricity built up in the sky. When there is a whole lot of electricity it goes to the ground or highest point. Most people use a lightning rod at their house so it doesn’t hit the house. Like when you rub your feet with socks on against shag carpet then touch a metal object you shoot lighting from your finger to the metal object.

            I find how when you jump on a trampoline you build up electricity and then you touch something and it transfers the electricity to that object quite interesting.


Electricity travels at the speed of light. A spark of electricity can reach up to 3,000 volts. A single lightning strike can measure up to 3,000,000 volts in less than 1 second.
