Year 5 learnt that as soon as you remove a component of that triangle, the fire will extinguish. We also did an experiment to see how long a flame would burn in different-sized glasses. We found that the larger the glass, the longer the flame burned. This was due to the volume of oxygen in the glass. Brilliant scientific work Year 5!
