TRUE LIES: There are many misconceptions regarding fire. A person must equip himself with factual information to guarantee safety. Not all shared information is true. So, can you spot them? Direction: Below are statements about basic information on fire. On your answer sheet, write TRUE if the statement expresses a correct idea, otherwise write LIE. 1. When a combustible material is heated, it burns. 2. A small fire inside a glass container dies down when it is tightly covered. 3. In photosynthesis, sunlight and heat make chemical energy (in the form of wood or fossil fuel); fire uses chemical energy to produce light and heat.

TRUE LIES: There are many misconceptions regarding fire. A person must equip himself with factual
information to guarantee safety. Not all shared information is true. So, can you spot them?
Direction: Below are statements about basic information on fire. On your answer sheet, write TRUE if the
statement expresses a correct idea, otherwise write LIE.
1. When a combustible material is heated, it burns.
2. A small fire inside a glass container dies down when it is tightly covered.
3. In photosynthesis, sunlight and heat make chemical energy (in the form of wood or fossil fuel); fire uses
chemical energy to produce light and heat.
4. Fire is a thing, not an event.
5. Assuming stable fuel, heat, and oxygen levels, a typical house fire is constant in size every minute until the fire
dies down.
6. Earth is the only known planet where fire can burn.
7. Water can be produced by fire.
8. Using concentrated sunlight, ancient Greeks were able to start fire. A parabolic mirror that focuses solar rays is
still used to ignite the Olympic torch.
9. Among the stages of fire, the last stage which is the “decay stage” takes the longest time to finish.
