Hello and welcome back to Term 2! First period I have Science and for our first task this term we used bunsen burners and made little containers out of paper and looked at how long our container would hold up against fire.
Aim: Designing a container out of paper that holds water and doesn't catch on fire.
Method: We first designed the container that we thought would hold water, second we set up all our equipment, turned on the gas and put our container on the tripod, lastly we turned off the gas when our container started to collapse or go up in flames.
6 things we used: Bunsen burner, beaker, A4 paper, water, heat mat, tripod
Results: My container withstood the fire for about 15 seconds.
Conclusion: Our containers base wasn't as strong as we would've liked it to be. It got through the paper in a short amount of time. Something I would do differently next time is create layers and make the base stronger. One tip I would give to someone doing an experiment is to make the air hole is closed (labelled in the diagram).
