The results indicate that this hypothesis should be rejected. Because of the results of this experiment, I wonder if I should have used more kinds of material and cut the pieces of material into larger squares. I would use a different color of fabric to see if the color makes a difference in the speed that the fabric burns, I would use a different type of lighter, and I would do the experiment at a different temperature. Fire needs three components in order to burn, a flammable substance, oxygen, and a temperature high enough to ignite the substance. A flame is the glowing particles of the substance being burned that floats up.
Flames are usually red, orange, or yellow but sometimes they are green, blue, or mauve.
The color changes depending on the substance being burned. History of Fire Fire was discovered over 500,000 years ago. How Fire is Helpful Fire can be helpful by giving people heat to live so we don t freeze to death, heat to cook so we will not get sick from diseases like e. coli. It creates energy to power jets, airliners, cars, boats, and anything else that has a gasoline powered engine. Fire creates a small explosion in the piston making them move up and down to power the engine and make the craft move.
