UL Xplorlabs Fire Forensics - Fire Triangle Workbook

This workbook is part of the UL Xplorlabs Fire Forensics Module. The session enables students to understand ignition and combustion principles by conducting/observing a series of practical experiments.

Using a candle, you will conduct four experiments to limit one side of the fire triangle at a time – oxygen, fuel, and heat - to understand the needs of fire. Then, using a metal screen, you will look at a candle flame to observe combustion.

Click on 'Resource 1' to find a video that demonstrates the fire triangle.  The lesson plan for this session can be found slightly 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.
