These two questions are hard to answer because the lightning happens so fast that we see just a blinding light coming from the sky followed by a deafening thunder.
What, in ancient times, was considered divine powers, today is explained and detailed observed with help of science.
This video shows a slow motion lighting behavior.
We can see the three kinds of lightning: cloud to the ground, ground to the cloud and cloud to cloud.
Is also possible to see how the discharge follows the ionized air of the previous discharge.

How does a lightning form? And how does it behave?

When two materials are rubbed a kind of effect appears, they become charged. The polarity (what material will become positive and what will become negative) is given by the triboelectric series.
Usually, physics teachers use a pipe and a cat or rabbit hide to demonstrate this effect. This video shows how a children playing on a plastic slide can generate static electricity.
Both, children and slide become charged and that can be noted because the children’s hairs stand on end.

This video shows simple science tricks that can be used to amuse friends in a party, play with children or even in a science fair.
I wish you enjoy it.
The best science tricks for parties, at least a geek party!

Square bubbles sounds impossible, ours brains connect the word bubble with the spherical shape. However this video shows how to produce square bubbles using a science trick.

Flutter Effect is a self-feeding mechanism in which aerodynamic forces on a object (This case an airplane wing) are coupled with the natural mode of vibration of this object to produce a periodic and, sometimes, destructive motion.

This video shows a pumpkins cannon. It uses compressed air to accelerates the pumpkins through out a long pipe. As bigger the pipe, more time the pumpkin is accelerated, so higher is the inicial velocity. At a 45 degress angle the pumpkin reach the maximum horizontal distance.
Lets pump...pumpkins
