Listen "Why Does Lightning Come First?"
Episode Synopsis
Ever wondered why lightning flashes before thunder rumbles? In this electrifying episode of Wise Up, Emma and Katherine explore the science behind storms. They dive into the difference between lightning and thunder, explain why light is faster than sound, and show you how to measure the distance of a storm using the flash-to-bang method. Along the way, they share stormy stories, answer a real listener question, do dramatic roleplays as Storm Detectives, and even give a fun thunder-themed snack idea. With games, jokes, a mini science lab, and a catchy lightning song, this episode is packed with excitement, laughter, and learning. Tune in and Wise Up—because thunder may roll late, but curiosity strikes fast!
