Students will use research skills to learn various facts about wildfires and present their information on a wiki page.
Introduction
A wildfire is a raging, rapidly spreading fire! A wildfire is not like most fires. It's different because the speed from which it spreads from its original source is fast, it can grow to be very immense, it has a strong potential to change direction quickly, and it can jump gaps such as roads, lakes and rivers!
Check out this wildfire that's happened in November 2009 in California
You are a part of the best firefighting team in town! Today, you got a 911 emergency phone call from a camper to report a huge fire that she spotted in the woods while roasting marshmallows with her family. The young lady was screaming hysterically and explained that they got away, but there are still other families camping. They need YOU and your firefighting team to stop the fire. CAN YOU HELP?!
