DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sam Ramaila (University of Johannesburg)\nLightning 
 has in recent times wreaked havoc during the rainy season in several parts
  of South Africa and this prompted the physics community under the auspice
 s of the South African Institute of Physics (SAIP) to devise meaningful st
 rategies for promoting public awareness. In response to this call\, first 
 year physics students at the University of Johannesburg responded to a car
 efully designed questionnaire that seeks to probe students’ level of und
 erstanding of lightning. Analysis of responses reveals lack of scientific 
 understanding of lightning as a natural phenomenon. Amongst others\, this 
 can to some degree be attributed to superstitious or cultural beliefs.\n\n
