Through constructing and testing a working model of a fire extinguisher, students explore key concepts including the fire triangle (heat, fuel, oxygen), chemical reactions, and pressure systems. The kit encourages inquiry-based learning as students hypothesise, observe, and document how different variables affect extinguishing performance. Students also develop practical skills in following instructions, measuring materials, and recording experimental data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eDesigned for students in Years 5–10, this kit is ideal for Science, STEM, and Chemistry classes.

For a class of 30, we recommend ordering 15–30 kits depending on group size. The experiment requires a flat, water-resistant surface (e.g., a lab bench or covered desk) and access to tap water. Adult supervision is recommended for younger students. The activity takes approximately 45–60 minutes, including setup, experimentation, and clean-up. Safety goggles are included and should be worn at all times during the experiment. The kit uses only common household materials and produces non-toxic waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eSupport \u0026amp; Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAll Stemology products come with a \u003cstrong\u003e12-month warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e against manufacturing defects.
