FIRE PREVENTION

WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT FIRE PREVENTION THIS WEEK.  WE FOUND OUT THAT SOME FIRE STATIONS HAVE FIRE DOGS THAT HELP THE FIREFIGHTERS!!  WE THINK WE WOULD LIKE TO BE A FIRE DOG HELPER!
THE CUTEST PUPPIES EVER!!!! 
WE LOVED PRACTICING HOW 
TO STOP, DROP AND ROLL!!

WE LEARNED THAT FIRE NEEDS 3 THINGS IN ORDER TO BURN;
 HEAT, AIR AND SOMETHING TO BURN(FUEL).
SO WE DID AN EXPERIMENT....
WE HAD SOMETHING TO BURN, HEAT AND AIR
WE PLACED A GLASS JAR OVER THE FLAME TO SHOW THAT WHEN YOU TAKE AWAY THE AIR, THE FLAME WILL GO OUT!  
THEN WE TRIED ANOTHER EXPERIMENT TO SEE IF WATER WOULD RISE????
WE LIT THE CANDLE AND PLACED THE GLASS JAR OVER THE FLAME.  NOW, THERE IS NO MORE AIR INSIDE THE JAR!
 AND THE WATER IN THE BOWL ROSE UP INSIDE THE JAR...AMAZING!!!
THE AIR PRESSURE OUTSIDE THE JAR PUSHES THE WATER INSIDE THE JAR!!  WE WERE AMAZED TO SAY THE LEAST!
THE LOCKHART FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL VISIT OUR SCHOOL NEXT WEEK WHEN THEY BRING THE "REAL" FIRE TRUCKS!!!  WE CAN HARDLY WAIT!!!!
