Of course there were cities- New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Charleston, etc. Boston Massacre? Boston Tea Party? Those events and many other important American Revolution events certainly happened in the cities. Cities were much smaller than they are today but so was the population of the colonies as compared to the number of people living in the states that were once British colonies. Again many people lived in the cities but I believe at that point in American history that most people would have lived in more rural areas (ie villages or farming communities, etc) as most people farmed to support themselves- the Industrial Revolution, the rise of large cities, the change of America from a country were most people farmed to worked in the city/factory didn't begin to happen until much later. Of course there were schools from basic elementary schools to schools of higher education like colleges and universities- your questions are too vague as the British colonies really changed from the time the Puritans landed at Plymouth Rock to the time the colonies rebelled to form the USA (and again there were tremendous differences in each colony too which had basically functioned as independent nations each separate from the other colonies- until the American Revolution). Logs for the fire?? I can't see why there would be any problem there. I cannot think of any of the original British/American colonies that wouldn't have had plenty of forest areas to provide a source of lumber for houses, ships, firewood, etc.; over time plenty of the orignial forests in the colonies were completely depleted and the colonists would then need to look elsewhere for sources of lumber but it's not like they ever ran out (again your questions are to vague as to which time frame you are citing in the colonies).

it is beneficial to examine out the state quarters. the 1st 13 issued have been the unique colonies. Dover, Delaware Trenton, New Jersey Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Hartford, Connecticut Atlanta, Georgia Boston, Massachusetts Annapolis, Maryland brotherly love, New Hampshire Richmond, Virginia Colombia, South Carolina Raleigh, North Carolina windfall, Rhode Island Albany, ny i'm particular you will discover yet another city for each state. in order that which you already know, i think of Philadelphia replaced into the unique capital of Pennsylvania. All you would be able to desire to do is type "unique 13 colonies" right into a seek engine. it may answer all your questions.

Each colony was granted a charter by the King of England or Parliament. In each colony there was at least one large town. Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), Baltimore (Maryland), Jamestown (Virginia) and Providence (Rhode Island) were some of them.
The quality of education varied from colony to colony. In the New England colonies, the Quakers and the Puritans both insisted on mandatory education for both boys and girls. They could all read and write and do numbers. After that the girls stayed home in Puritan society, but continued on among the Quakers.
In the southern colonies, there was no mandatory education but parents tried to give their children some.
Yes, everyone burned wood during the colonial period. Later it was charcoal, then coal.

The 13 colonies were colonies, not cities, they were small towns/camps spread accross the east coast of america. they did have schools, but they're only for boys. And they were surrounded by trees, so yes, they had alot of logs for their fires

A pleasant attitude, good grammar and correct spelling would probably get more people interested in helping with your homework.
