What is fire?
Fire's Wild Party
What is fire?
You've seen fire flicker in birthday candles, roar in campfires, and dance in fireplaces. But what is it? Is fire a thing, like water or rock? Does it weigh anything? Where does it come from, and where does it go when it's gone?
Here's the wild part: fire isn't a thing at all. It's an event. It's what happens when fuel, oxygen, and heat meet up and throw a chemical party. Wood doesn't contain fire the way a bottle contains water. Fire is the process of wood breaking apart.
