Have you ever wondered about who invented fireworks and how?! Here are five fun fireworks facts for kids.
Fireworks are a type of pyrotechnic display that are used to create colorful and exciting displays in the sky. They are often used to celebrate special occasions such as holidays, festivals, weddings and other events. Fireworks can be launched in various ways, such as being set off on the ground, on a platform or even from a boat.
Fireworks are made up of a combination of chemicals and materials, including gunpowder, which is what makes them explosive. When the firework is lit, the gunpowder burns and creates a burst of light and color. The chemical reactions that take place in a firework create the bright colors and shapes that we see in the sky. Each color is produced by a different chemical, for example, copper produces blue, sodium produces yellow, and strontium produces red.
Fireworks come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. Some fireworks create a shower of sparks, while others create a large display of color and light. Some fireworks even create pictures in the sky, such as hearts or stars. Fireworks have different effects such as sparkles, comets, mines, chrysanthemums, crossettes, and peonies.
Fireworks are not just for viewing, they also make sounds, such as popping, whistling and bangs. The sound of a firework is caused by the pressure waves created by the explosion of the firework. The sound can be loud enough to cause hearing damage if close to the source.
Fireworks should be handled with care and only be used by adults or under adult supervision, as they can be dangerous if not used properly. It is important to always follow safety instructions and to use fireworks in designated areas where they are legal to use. Fireworks can cause burns, eye injuries, and even start fires. It’s important to use fireworks in a safe and responsible manner, and to always have a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher nearby in case of an accident.
