🔥 Year 8 Science – Combustion and Fire Safety 🔥
Year 8 pupils in Miss Haigh and Mr Cooper’s classes have been studying combustion this term, learning about the conditions needed for burning and the role oxygen plays.
As part of their practical work, pupils tested model houses with different combinations of open and closed doors and windows, measuring how this affected the time taken for them to burn.
They then applied their findings to fire safety in the home, considering how limiting the supply of oxygen can help slow the spread of a fire.
A brilliant way for our pupils to apply their scientific knowledge through practical investigation. 🔬🏠🔥
