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?
*Inside the smoke detector, there is a light and a sensor that is positioned at 90 degree angles to one another. When smoke gets inside the chamber, the particles of the smoke scatter the light and then a little bit of light hits the sensor. Once the sensor is hit, the siren then goes off to inform people that there may be a fire.
Where should smoke detectors be placed?
* On the ceiling of your roof
* 12 inches below the ceiling of your roof
* Bottom of your basement stairs
How do carbon monoxide detectors work?
* They sound an alarm each time they sense a certain amount of carbon monoxide over time in the air. There are different types of alarms that are triggered depending on different sensors. There are 3 main different types of sensors.
Where should carbon monoxide detectors be placed?
* Outside the doors of sleeping areas
* On each floor of your home
* Anywhere else that the local law requires it.

I think that there is always something else you can learn about staying safe during a fire and that it is crucial for everybody to know the basic procedures that must be done to stay safe. Overall,this collaboration project taught me many facts about fire safety that I did not know prior to beginning this project. I also learned that there are many different fire detectors that may be used for different occasions and different types of fires. Lastly, I learned that smoke detectors are not always supposed to be put on your ceiling, if not also on your
