Kids' Lightning Information and Safety This web site gives information about lightning. The information is written by children, so it is easy to understand. Some children share their experiences of being hit by lightning. These stories are translated into Spanish, Swahili, and French. The information is written for second grade and older level readers. The pictures are drawn by children but all students would benefit from the pictures.
