Overview
- Describe what happened. Use your understanding of states of matter, energy, and chemical reactions to support your response.
- Describe the additional chemical evidence or other scientific factors related to chemistry you will investigate. Use your understanding of acids and bases and states of matter to share the types of information you will gather.
- Summarize how the public can enhance their safety and prevent fires. Use your understanding of chemical reactions and energy to support your recommendations.
Remember, your audience is the public, not scientists. As a scientific professional, you will need to use your expertise in scientific concepts to inform your audience while using language that is accessible and easy for everyone to understand.
