Doing- Here is an example of me getting set on fire and what to do: 

         
         
Explaining-

Q1. Why was I scared?
A1. I was afraid because the adrenaline that was running through my body.

Q2. What is Adrenaline?
A2. Adrenaline is a hormone that runs through your body causing stress, increases heart rate pulse rate and blood pressure.

Q3. How did the little flame expand?
A3. The flame expanded because the gas caused the fire to expand from the flammable liquids in the gas.  

Q4. Why did we need to put water on our arm?
A4. We put water on our arms to stop and protect the fire from spreading across our arms.

After being set on fire this is what it: felt like, smelt like, sounded like and what it looked like: 

As I took my cardigan off for my own safety as it my have caught of fire, I wet my hands from my fingers to my elbows so the water could protect me from getting burnt. I scooped as much bubbles as I could hold then slowly walked towards Mr Stock, as he got closer with the lighter the more nervous I got, he placed the lighter under my hand and and lit the huge flame that rose to the roof , the orange and red flame grew bigger by the second. I wanted to pull my hands away from the flames but I knew not to. Then suddenly I felt a short burning on my hand then it faded away fast. I smelt a strong odour from the gas that increased. I later saw a black ring rise to the top of the Laboratory. The heat from the flames got colder and soon vanished.
