This lesson was originally a 3 day exploration in the properties of light waves versus sound waves. While writing this post I realized this is exactly what students need to know to understand why we see lightning before we hear thunder. I plan to tinker with this idea more next year to better connect the phenomena to the student explorations.
Hi Rebecca, I would love to do this with my class! Do you have a copy of this lesson and worksheets you could send me? My e-mail is drenwick@ccsdk12.org.
