- Ask the students if they know what a chimney is.
- Explain that a chimney is a long tunnel-like opening that goes from a fire place in a home and leads to the top of the house. Smoke from the fire can go up the tunnel and to the outside so smoke doesn’t go into the house. Show them the concept word strip.
