Directions: If you are unable to attend a live collaboration session, this activity will allow you to get credit for the Segment 1 Collaboration Project. Fill out the RED sections of this activity sheet.
1. Detalied explanation of how smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors work.
How do smoke detectors work?
* The battery applies a voltage to the plates, charging one plate positive and the other plate negative. Alpha particles constantly released by the americium knock electrons off of the atoms in the air, ionizing the oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the chamber. The positively-charged oxygen and nitrogen atoms are attracted to the negative plate and the electrons are attracted to the positive plate, generating a small, continuous electric current.
Where should smoke detectors be placed?
* Kitchen away from stoves
* Bedrooms
* Base of stairwells
How do carbon monoxide detectors work?
* Carbon monoxide detectors sound an alarm when they sense a certain amount of carbon monoxide in the air over time.
Where should carbon monoxide detectors be placed?
*Near a sleeping area
* Living/Dining Rooms
*Kitchen
Reliable resource(s) in MLA or APA format (use Easybib.com to generate citations):
"Carbon Monoxide." Carbon Monoxide. N.p., n.d. Web. 30 Nov. 2014. <http://www.nfpa.org/safety-information/for-consumers/fire-and-safety-equipment/carbon-monoxide>.
2. Choose 3 types of fire extinguishers
Water (APW)
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Dry Chemical (ABC,BC,DC)
Use reliable sources such as: www.nfpa.org or www.usfa.fema.gov. You may use other sources, but be sure they are reliable (NOT Wikipedia).
Fire extinguisher facts:
Fire extinguisher #1-How does it work? Please explain in 2-3 sentences:
APW stands for "air-pressurized water." APWs are large, silver extinguishers that are filled about two-thirds of the way with ordinary tap water, then pressurized with normal air.
Advantages of fire extinguisher #1:
* They essentially
