We need to research how fire is created.

What affects fire? What ingredients are needed to create a fire? How can we test this? What do we need to find out?

What is the fire triangle, and how does it work?

What are the 3 things needed to create the fire triangle?

Use place value to understand how hot certain fires can be?

A candle burns at about 1,000°C and a campfire burns at about 600°C.

Question:
How many hundreds are there in each temperature? Which fire is hotter and by how many hundreds?

A candle burns at 1,000.5°C and a bonfire burns at 1,200.2°C.

Question:
What digit is in the tenth place for each temperature? Which fire is hotter and by how many tenths of a degree?

A candle burns at about 1,000.8°C, a wood fire at 1,100.35°C, and a sparkler at 1,800.6°C.

Question:
Write these temperatures in order from coolest to hottest. What is the value of the digit 1 in each temperature?
