    🔥 Why Are Some Flames Blue? 🔥

    Most of us think of fire as yellow, orange or red. But what about the blue flame on a gas stove? Or the green, purple and red colours in fireworks?

    In this week's Squiz Kids Science Short, we discover what a flame actually is, why different flame colours can reveal different temperatures, and how scientists use colours to identify the chemicals that are burning. From campfires to candles, gas stoves to fireworks, it turns out fire is full of colourful clues.

    Grab your safety goggles and join us as we uncover the colourful science hidden inside flames.
