Hands on Fire (Science)

Kia ora everyone,

Today's blog will be about the things we've been working on during science. Last week, we had to make a poster about safety in the lab. If we were able to complete the poster, then we get to do hands on fire experiment. For now, we are going through all of the method for this experiment. 

Aim: I want to find out how to light my hands on fire SAFELY. 

Method

Equipment:

• Lighter
• Water
• Gas
• Tray 
• Hose 
• Liquid Soap 
• Safety glasses 

Instructions: 

1. Get the equipment ready.
2. Fill the tray with water.
3. Put the liquid soap into the water and gently mix.
4. Connect the hose to the gas tap. 
5. Turn the gas on and it should make a gas bubbles. 
6. Wear safety glasses.
7. Wet your hands/arms up to your elbow with water. 
8. Scoop the bubbles with your both hands. 
9. Take two steps forward. 
10. Hold the bubbles as far away from your face as possible. 
11. Take a photo of yourself side on to put on your blog.

 

    12. Light the bubbles on fire.

    13. Don't panic and slowly open your hands.  

Results: 

I didn't want to put my hands on fire, so then I was the one filming the other students doing the experiment. Because of not being able to do the experiment, I didn't get to describe what its like. 

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you learnt something new, I'll be posting more often, I'll see you on my next blog, bye.
