This multimedia instructional module features a visually rich way to tie together chemical reaction, combustion, and the nature of fire. It includes two short videos and four interactive Flash simulations that explore pyrotechnics, the science of fire, anatomy of fireworks, and the mechanics of lifting charge.
Editor's Note: This module addresses a number of national science standards in a fun and engaging way. The pyrotechnics section will spark discussion about chemical reactions, while the lesson on fireworks color will address interactions at an atomic level (specific color results when atoms of a certain element or combination of elements are energized by the firework's heat.) Teachers' Domain is a growing collection of more than 1,000 free educational resources compiled by researchers and experienced teachers to promote the use of digital resources in the classroom. Please note that this resource requires Flash.
