Make it happen:
After you see a flash of
lightning
, count the number of seconds until you hear the
thunder
. (Use the stop watch or count "One-Mississippi, Two-Mississippi, Three-Mississippi," etc.) For every 5 seconds the storm is one mile
away
. Divide the number of seconds you count by 5 to get the number of miles.
