F+IS+FOR+FIRE

===media type="file" key="f sound.wav"We learned about colonial fireplaces at the Sandy Spring Museum on our field trip. Fire was used in colonial times for warmth, light and cooking food. Fire kept the colonists warm. They cooked food on it every day. Women cooked the food that the men hunted. They put the fire out with well water. There is an oven in the back of fireplaces for bread. They hung pots over the fire with an S hook. We saw a blacksmith make an S hook on our field trip. They used bellows to push air into the fire. When they put food into the oven it got hotter than our food today. Colonial fireplaces were an important part of colonial homes.=== By Jamie, Mallory, Katherine-Aria and Caleb media type="youtube" key="HssfMbEjWzs&rel=1" height="355" width="425"
