This combination of hands-on activity and video help students visually understand why smoke rises in a fire and how quickly a fire can spread, leading them to the science behind the safety of installing a smoke detector up high and how sprinkler systems work. This resource can be used during fire safety education both in the classroom and afterschool programs.

Using the data from two burns in the fire science lab, students will make conclusions about the impact of ventilation on a fire. Students will present their claims based on the evidence presented in the graphs and learn why this skill is critical for both firefighters and the women and men investigating the fire’s origin and cause. This dataset offers an opportunity to practice interpreting real-world data from graphs and communicating a claim based on evidence and reasoning.
