Science lesson

Fact: newspaper burns when lit with a match

Fact: the fumes from aerosol hairspray are flammable

Fact: burning paper torch + aerosol hairspray = flame thrower

Fact: the law of gravity states that large objects (the earth) exert a pull on smaller objects (smouldering newspaper bundles)

Fact: when objects fall through the air, they are exposed to oxygen

Fact: oxygen + falling, smouldering paper = ball of fire falling from balcony into pine needles on the ground

Fact: pine needles (and apartment buildings) burn

Fact: girls in heels (Averyl and Jessica) run really fast when burning objects need to be extinguished


Come back next week for another episode of Life Lessons in Science.

to whom it may be concerned:

in your post, you say to "come back next week" for another episode of science lessons. it has been many weeks. where are my science lessons?

also, we should do that again. it was fun.
