To Build A Fire Lab

In this To Build A Fire Lab, we had the goal of building a fire with oven mitts on. Vivian and I worked as a team. One person using the oven mitts, and the other person would tell them what they should do. Before this experiment, we read the short story "To Build A Fire", by Jack London. This taught me that we would probably have some trouble building a fire. The man in this story explained to us that we would have trouble, because we can't use our fingers. We also didn't know what the weather was going to be. Just like the man in the story, no matter how the weather was, we had to build attempt to fire. In this project I suspected that I would build a small fire, or no fire at all. I didn't lose hope though, and Vivian and I were ready to

Obviously we needed matches, and the match box. We also needed oven mitts, to make us not be able to use our fingers. We needed our fingers to be handicapped, because in the short story, the man who was trying to build a fire had mittens on because it was too cold for his fingers to be bare. We also needed 4 bamboo sticks as wood for the fire to catch on. In addition to that, we needed notebook paper. We needed notebook paper as something to get our fire to grow bigger. We used it as kindling. Finally, we needed chopsticks. A notecard would be useful to burn, so we got one notecard as well. We used the two chopsticks to move things around that we couldn't move around with our oven mitts on. All of these supplies came in handy in parts of this

It was a difficult challenge, but many people, including my group succeeded. We first had to get all of our supplies together. We had to find a spot to do our fire. So, then Vivian and I decided to find a spot. Then we decided to get all of our supplies out. Next, we broke the 4 bamboo sticks into half, because we thought that we would be able to more easily light the sticks on fire if the edges were frayed. Then we got the match box out and struck one match at a time. Then we tried to light multiple matches at one time, and it definitely was a better method. Although the extreme wind, we still got it and almost made a fire until the wind blew the matches fire out. It created a bigger flame, but still no
