Round 4 — Weather & Earth
📋 What it is
This round covers weather, volcanoes, rocks, and Earth science.
🗣️ Coach says
Earth-science answers are satisfying to announce because they explain something you can SEE outside.
🧠 Memory hook
Thunder and lightning happen together — you SEE it first because light is faster than sound.
😂 Giggle
What did the host say to the confident-but-wrong contestant?
"Bold guess — wrong answer!"
😲 Whoa!
Lightning is about five times hotter than the surface of the Sun.
🎤 What do you call molten rock while it is still UNDER the ground?
You're the HOST — decide your answer and hold the card, then flip & announce. (Knowing it FIRST is what makes you the host, not a lucky guess.)
🃏 Your card: Magma (it’s called “lava” once it reaches the surface).
Underground = magma; above ground = lava — a favourite trick pair.
🎙️ Contestant “Sure-Sam” buzzes in: “Lava is the word for it under the ground!”
Sounds right? “Lava” is the famous word — but under the ground it’s MAGMA; lava is above ground. You held the real answer — you’re the host!
