Before the Tent Trip

Noor's class plans a camping trip. The morning sky is clear. A weather forecast says, “Thunderstorms may reach camp this afternoon.” Lightning can hurt people outside. A tent does not protect people from lightning. Camp has a sturdy, fully enclosed check-in cabin. Adults plan to take the class there before a storm arrives. First, the class tries a pretend test indoors. No one goes into a real storm.

1. Set up. Put four toy campers by a paper tent. Mark a paper cabin nearby. A bell will stand for the storm's arrival.

2. Keep things the same. Use the same campers, places, and four slow taps in both tests. After the weather message, move one camper into the cabin on each tap. Ring the bell after tap four.
