Pinning for Tree Safety Ideas

In this investigation, students use a candle to conduct four experiments to limit one of each side of the fire triangle – oxygen, fuel, and heat - building an understanding of the needs of fire. Then, using a metal screen, students look at a candle flame to observe combustion. The classroom investigation can be done with materials list provided, or by using the video to make the observations for classrooms that are not allowed to use an open flame.

This collection of resources will actively engage students with videos, a quiz, and hands-on experiments while revealing the science and engineering behind electricity. Students will calculate energy consumption, learn about how a fault interrupts a circuit, as well as learn about how water molecules react to a negative charge, and so much more. These resources can be used to supplement a unit on energy/electricity. They can be integrated into curriculum or stand alone as hands-on activities, either in the classroom or during an afterschool program.

This combination of hands-on activity and video helps teach students about the dangers of carbon monoxide in buildings and homes, how to detect it, and what to do if carbon monoxide is present. This resource can be used in the classroom or afterschool program or sent to families to create a home escape plan with their children.

Solve through Science. Xplorlabs is an online learning platform incorporating modules focused on specific topics relevant to issues in science and engineering and what is relevant to students’ everyday lives. Designed to bridge the gap between the classroom and real-world science and engineering challenges.
