Miranda entered the Science Fair at her school. She did it on putting out fire with CO2. She wanted to make sure that it was perfect, so she scripted her presentation. Once she had it perfect, we printed out her script on index cards.

The text of this blog is the script that Miranda came up with.


My project is about putting out fire with Carbon Dioxide.


Their are three parts to make a fire, they are:
Fuel, Heat, Oxygen.
If you take away any one, the fire will go out.

For example if you away the Fuel you will not have a Fire.
If you take away the Heat with water, you will not have a fire.
For my expreiment I will be talking away the oxygen with Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

I will be making Carbon Dioxide by mixing Vinegar with Baking Soda.
The reason it puts out the file is because Carbon Dioxide is heaver then oxygen.
It is now making Carbon Dioxide in the jar.
I can show you with the demonstration

When I start, the jar is filled with oxygen.
Since the CO2 is heaver, it pushes the oxygen up and out of the jar making the flame go out.
I can now show you a shot video since I am not allowed to use fire at the Science Fair.
