Hands on fire

Aim: 

I want to SAFELY set my hands on fire.

Equipment:

Safety goggles

Container full of water mixed with liquid detergent

Water

Hose

Detergent

Lighter

Method:

1. Be safe, wear your safety goggles, roll up your sleeves (if you have a long sleeve top on) and tie your hair back (if you  have long hair).

2. Wet your hands, wrists ans arms up to your below.

3. Scoop a handful of bubbles.

4. Hold the bubbles at eye level, as far away from my body as I can.

5. To put out the fire, SLOWLY open your hands.

Results:

I didn't feel like lighting my hands on fire because I felt a little nervous. But it was fun watching other people light their hands on fire.

Discussion:

What I learnt:

I learnt that if you were holding too much water in your hands and not that much bubbles then the your hands wouldn't light because fire can't go through water.
