1. Ask students to collect some materials like straw, a piece of cloth, matchsticks, a piece of plastic, paper, iron nails, stone pieces, glass, etc. Under the supervision of the teacher try to burn each of these materials one by one. Make a chart and If combustion takes place mark the material combustible, otherwise mark it as non-combustible
2. Ask students to identify the type of fire extinguisher that will be used in following cases – - fire from electric short circuit in school - fire from gas leakage in their neighbourhood - petro/oill can catching fire - Logs of wood catch fire - if their clothes catch fire
3. Divide the class into two groups. Ask both the groups to prepare “Fire Prevention and Safety Tips” on a chart paper for their class/School. The best one can be put up in the class or some common place in school.
