I forgot to write about fire writing that i did at school yesterday.Well,i went to science club yesterday and Ms Hope decided that we were gonna do fire writing. It is really simple actually.

1) get a filter paper and draw your designs in

2)paint with a sodium nitrate solution

3)Dry it with a hairdyer

4)Go outside with a spirit burner and splints.

5)put the splints over the spirit burner

6)blow the fire out leaving it just glowing

7)press it against the paper and blow

8)when it starts burning just leave it.

(it might take a couple of tries before it light up)

if you want to try it out,make sure you have adult supervision and permission.
