Student Instructions

Here are some suggested questions to answer after you watch the mini-lesson: 1. Why is it so hard for firefighters to put out wildfires? 2. What did this lesson make you curious about? What other questions do you have about wildfires? Bonus Activity: One way to fight a fire is with water. In cities, that water comes through a hose. The hose gets water from the city's water supply. But in the forest, there's no water supply. And there's no place to connect a hose. Can you invent other ways to bring lots of water to a wildfire? Draw or describe at least two ways you could bring water to a wildfire without a hose.
