The Burning Question

The Burning Question investigates rates of what affect the rates of combustion to answer the Investigation Question What makes the Biggest Boom?”  Presented as a television game show called “The Question Show,” The Burning Question is performed by show host Marcy Question and the guest scientist, Dr. KaBoom.  Segments of the show inspired by the scientific method include “Question of the Day,” “Vote your Prediction,” “The Experiment Zone,” and “Let’s make a Model!”  The model features an enactment of the reaction between oxygen and liquid vs. gaseous fuel.  The Burning Question also includes the game show theme song and a call and response rap-style song that describes elements necessary for combustion.  Assessment is embedded.
