Abstract	This unit consists of four parts. Part 1 contains a five-item instrument designed to help teachers clarify their own views about "burning." Part 2 discusses scientists' views about burning and lists answers to the survey instrument presented in part 1. Part 3 contrasts scientists' views with children's views, using children's comments obtained during the in-depth phase of the Learning in Science Project. Part 4 presents several teaching activities designed to help children modify their views of concepts related to "burning." Activities include: (1) observing a burning candle; (2) investigating the yellow part of a flame; (3) examining the dark, inner part of a flame; (4) investigating candle wax; (5) discovering what happens to wax when a candle burns down; (6) determining if air is needed to burn things; (7) demonstrating that air is used in burning; (8) and determining what is formed when a candle burns. Three extension activities, answers to questions, and an outline of the activities with suggested sequence (in flowchart format) are included. (JN)
