Abstract
This activity demonstrates the effectiveness of flame retardants, substances added to combustible materials to slow down or hinder burning. In this Activity, some common substances are tested to see how they change the way paper burns. This Activity can be introduced when discussing combustion reactions or during a unit on practical or everyday chemistry. It also could be used in a safety unit.
