Introduction I chose my topic because I really like fire. Have fascinated about children getting burned in there clothes or in there pajamas.

Aim. What materiel is the safest near fire?

Hypothesis I think that cotton will be the safest. Because when i have seen wool burn before it doesn't catch alight it just as embers and burns. I think nylon will have the worst effect because it melts really easily Nico - you need to re-word your hypothesis so that it matches your aim.

Equipment 2X People. 1X 20/10cm cotton fabric. 1X 20/10cm Wool Fabric. 1X 20/10cmNylon. 1X stop Watch. 1X camera. 1X 20cm stand to hold the fabric off the ground. 1X 4cm high Candle 1X Matches 1X 6/6cm diamond o use as a stencil

Methodology Don't forget to add observations - what is happening as the time elapses. How many times are you going to repeat these experiments?
 * 1) cut three different fabrics Nylon, Cotton and Wool fabric into 20/10cm pieces and use the stencil to draw a diamond
 * 2) Place candle on ground.
 * 3) Place a 20cm high stand to hold fabric on top of the candle.
 * 4) Light the candle.
 * 5) Put the fabric on top of 20cm high stand.
 * 6) Take pictures every 20 secs for how long it takes to burn through past the diamond.
 * 7) repeat this 3 times every time with a different fabric.
 * 8) repeat this 3 times more to make it a fair test.
