„What’s the fire?“
What is red, what is hot, leaves a mark and lights all dark? Of course it’s fire, but did you know… … that there are four types of fire? … that a city that is built at 3600 metres above sea level is nearly fireproof? … that fires move faster uphill than downhill? … that theoretically it is possible to produce a black flame? … that it is possible to set ice on fire? These are just a few notes to show you how fire can surprise us. During these two weeks participants will have the opportunity to learn new facts about firesafety and materials that don’t burn. They will also discover how to build a safe fireproof house. Of course they will also concentrate on how to use fire for their own benefits! Participants will visit labs, various companies, learn about different ways of starting and killing a fire, challenge themselves with experiments and of course practice our favourite summer habit – grilling! |
