The Science of Fire
|
|
This interactive, hands-on children’s exhibit at the FASNY Museum of Firefighting explores how and why fire happens and how we use fire in our daily lives.
Components include fire is part of all of our lives, sources of fire, the fire triangle, the fire safety quiz and what do you know about fire? Children can listen to the audio presentation and do the interactives that are presented in each segment of the exhibit. Children will be amazed to learn that fire powers cars, is used to make pottery and many other things that we all take for granted. They will learn that fire can be used in a safe and helpful way that benefits us all; however they will also learn that fire can be a dangerous thing as well.
Through this exhibit, children will be taught not only the science of fire, but how to apply it to fire safety and prevention. This is absolutely vital, as fires and burns are a leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 14 and under.
