What is fire?

Have you ever stared at a campfire and wondered what those glowing, dancing flames actually are? Join Mira and Finn as they uncover the blazing secrets of fire! You'll learn the secret "Fire Triangle" recipe that makes things burn and discover that flames are actually super-heated, glowing gases floating in the air. We’ll travel back in time over a million years to a place called Wonderwerk Cave in South Africa, where our early human ancestors first learned to tame wild flames. Did you know that cooking food over a fire gave them the extra energy they needed to grow bigger brains? Plus, we'll find out why a blue flame is the hottest color of all—reaching temperatures that can literally melt solid steel! And wait until you hear about the amazing Firehawk raptors in Australia! These wild, clever birds actually pick up burning sticks in their claws and drop them to start wildfires just so they can hunt for their dinner! Grab your marshmallows and get ready for a red-hot scientific adventure on this exciting episode!
