Thinking

At Clavis Publishing, children are at the heart of everything we do, both in our publishing philosophy and in our marketing. Each leaf of our four-leaf clover represents a core value, thoughtfully woven into the stories we bring to young readers. Love, emotional growth, talent development, and knowledge form a strong foundation that helps children grow into balanced, confident individuals. Children’s books are far more than a nice extra. They help kids grow, understand themselves, and engage with the world in a positive way. They open the door to a child’s heart. Often, the conversations parents, grandparents, and teachers have with children after reading together offer a meaningful glimpse into what is truly on a child’s mind. That is the power of great children’s books.

Little Explorers Step by step, little kids discover the world. It starts small: learning about home, everyday rituals, and family. But in no-time, little ones will become true explorers, with our toddler books leading their way.

Waarom kan vuur niet tegen water?

? Wat denk jij?

Karel

Tuutaa-tuutaa … Als er ergens brand is, komt de brandweer zo snel mogelijk. Ze rollen de slangen uit en spuiten een harde waterstraal op het vuur. Het vuur wordt kleiner en kleiner, en dan dooft het volledig uit. Hoe komt het eigenlijk dat vuur niet tegen water kan?

Ik denk omdat warm vuur bang is voor koud water.

Corien Of omdat vuur niet tegen nattigheid kan?

Abdel Myra

Water is ook zwaar. Als het op vuur valt, gaat het uit.

En water kan zelf niet branden.

Fien Daarom blussen ze vuur met water!

Daarom kan vuur niet tegen water !

Er zijn ook brandjes die je juist niet met water mag blussen. Zoals brandend vet in een frituurpan. Als je daar water op gooit, krijg je een grote steekvlam!

Vuur is heel heet. De brandweer spuit er koud water op. Dat koude water wordt warm door het hete vuur. Als water zo warm wordt, verandert het in stoom. Dan zie je een wolk van heel veel piepkleine druppeltjes.

Slaat de vlam in de pan? Leg er dan zo snel mogelijk een deksel op. Er kan nu geen zuurstof meer bij. Zo gaat het vuur uit. Die stoomwolk zorgt ervoor dat er minder zuurstof bij het vuur komt. Zuurstof zit in de lucht. Wij hebben zuurstof nodig om te ademen en vuur heeft het nodig om te branden.

Met dit proefje zie je dat vuur niet zonder zuurstof kan. 1

Het kaarsje brandt.

Op een vuurtje buiten gooien ze weleens zand. Door die laag zand kan er geen zuurstof meer bij het vuur komen. Maar een grote brand met zand blussen is onhandig en moeilijk. Daarvoor gebruiken ze water!

Zet een glas over het kaarsje. In het glas zit nog een beetje zuurstof. De vlam gebruikt het laatste beetje.

Soms blust de brandweer vuur met schuim of poeder.

Nu is de zuurstof op. Daarom gaat de vlam uit.

Dat doen ze als er brand is in een fabriek waar gevaarlijke gassen in de lucht kunnen vrijkomen. Een poederlaag op het vuur houdt het gevaarlijke gas tegen. Schuim gebruik je om te blussen als een elektrisch apparaat in brand staat. Want als je daar water op spuit, kun je een stroomstoot krijgen. Dat is heel gevaarlijk.
