GROUP 5

FIRE TRIANGLE EXPERIMENT

Part A.
A. Light a candle using the match. The learners should observe what happens before a fire is
formed.
B. Using the wax from the burning candle, mount the candle to the lid of the jar. Make sure
that they mount it on the underside of the lid.
C. Then, slowly put the jar on top of the candle and close the jar. Observe what happens to the
candle and write this down on their notebooks.
D. Afterwards, wait for about 2 minutes to unscrew the jar. Note that the jar could still be
hot.
Part B.
A. Soak the tip of the candle in water then try to light it up using the match. Does it light up
easily? Observe what happens and write it down on their notebooks.
B. Afterwards, dry the tip of the candle using a tissue and again try to light the candle.
Observe what happens and write it down on their notebooks.
Part C.
A. Using the same candle in Part B, try to light the bottom of the candle. Does it light up?
B. What could be needed for the candle to light up? Ask the learners to write their answers
on their notebooks.
