Cael Learns about Lighting

I asked mum about lighting today so she showed me a video about how lightning is made. I learned that lightning can go from a cloud to the ground but also from the ground into a cloud. Lightning is pretty scary, it gets very very hot!

After we looked at all of the videos mum showed me a magic trick with wax candles and watercolour paint, we made a picture of lightning in the sky together. We made lightning with the wax candles and then painted the sky over it and the lightning showed through! Just like magic.

When we finished our picture mum showed me how to make electricity with a balloon. Here is a video of it.
