The Discovery of Fire | Stone Age & Early Humans | History & Science | Year 1 – Year 4

Journey back to the Stone Age with “The First Flame Adventure!”

Help your students explore the turning point of human civilisation. This 30-page digital storybook is a high-impact visual resource designed to engage primary students with the history and science of fire.

• Scientific Inquiry: Theories on how fire was first captured (lightning, volcanoes) and eventually created through friction.

• The Science of Fire: Explains the “Fire Triangle” — how fire needs Fuel, Oxygen, and Heat to survive.

• Technological Change: Visualises how fire led to the first human “industries,” such as pottery and metalwork.

• Social Impact: Highlights fire as a tool for community, storytelling, and safety.
