4. Fire Innovations
David Hernandez
Students will explore the mechanism of the instant fire suppression system by creating a model demonstrating how to control and manipulate waves in order to push the air around them.
This curriculum is focused on the study of STEM in the field of fire science. Students will experience hands-on and inquiry-based activities to develop an understanding of the type of knowledge required to become a firefighter, such as fire tactics, rescue procedures, fire behavior, and combustion, fire scene investigation, innovations of fire prevention, and extinguishment equipment. In addition, students will have a deeper understanding of fire safety by being familiar as to why things happen in a fire and how to manage them.
