Lockdown Writing Week 3 Term 4 2020

 

My lockdown writing 

It all started with coronavirus. It was completely different for everyone  but for me it was paradise best of all my online school work ended at 12 o'clock on the dot. And then it was free-time that means walks outside playing with the dogs.  But for me I actually really enjoyed lockdown but I wasn't even at this school when lockdown was even a thing. But I didn't think  anything could get better but I could get on my motorbike a lot more and even better. I have a home made motor bike track and  my dad and my mum and my brother helped me a lot and that is my experience of lockdown.

 [How does Thunder and Lightning happen?

Introduction

Thunder is loud, can frighten pets and is dangerous near water.

Thunder and lightning is noisy, bright and can be dangerous.

But how is it caused?

How does Thunder make noise? Thunder is caused by lightning. When a lightning bolt travels from the cloud to the ground it actually opens up a little hole in the air, called a channel. Once then light is gone the air collapses back in and creates a sound wave that we hear as thunder.

How does lightning get colour? Lightning color is caused by light emitted as the electrons drop back to their original energy.  Seen from above, lightning storms also produce less well known colors can be seen, different types of blue or red light above clouds. Known as jets and sprites.

Why is lightning dangerous near water? Lightning strikes are not  only dangerous but are deadly. A direct strike is not the only way a lightning bolt can kill. When lightning strikes land, it spreads through  the surrounding ground . We know that water is a good conductor of electricity. So if lightning hits water,  it will create a current of electricity.

Conclusion

Lightning is dangerous near water and thunder can make loud noise
