UL Xplorlabs Fire Forensics - Energy Workbook

This workbook is part of the UL Xplorlabs Fire Forensics module. The session enables students to explore how different fuels ignite and combust by conducting/observing a series of practical experiments.

Using a video of our UL fire expert in the fire research lab, you will make observations of the timing, behaviour and smoke of different fuels as they burn. Then, build a calorimeter or continue with the video as one is built in the lab to measure the heat and energy stored in common household materials.

'Resource 1' below is the video linked to this session and the lesson plan and mid-term planning can be found by scrolling a little further down the page.

The lesson bundle below contains all the teacher guides, workbooks, videos and planning documents for the whole UL Xplorlabs Fire Forensics module.
