Demonstrating Chemistry: Fireworks in the Classroom
This video, from Teachers TV, gives ideas on how to bring fireworks demonstrations into the science lab in a safe and fascinating way. It illustrates experiments relating to the secondary school science curriculum. These include:
• combustion basics, oxidation and oxidising agents
• creating a flash
• displacement reactions
• making your own delay fuse
• sparklers
• flame colours / flame test
• generating thrust.
Matthew shows teachers how to carry out the experiments safely with advice from CLEAPSS.
