Burning fuels experiment You are going to burn different fuels to see which can raise the temperature of water the most. • Aim • Prediction • Variables • Independent • Dependent • Control • Safety • Equipment • The fuels are • Candle • Firelighter • Coal
Fire • What is the fire triangle? • What are the different types of fire extinguisher and why do they put the fire out?
When something burns, it reacts with the oxygen in the air to make a new substance called an oxide. If we burn something in pure oxygen rather than just in the air the reaction is bigger and faster.
Go and find as many fire extinguishers as possible and complete the table
There are lots of different types of fire extinguisher and ways of putting out fires. Look at the fire extinguishers and other ways of putting out fires on the slides and think about which side of the fire triangle they get rid of…
Carbon dioxide extinguisher oxygen
Foam extinguisher oxygen/heat
Dry powder extinguisher oxygen
Water heat
Fire blanket oxygen
Fire break fuel
