Imagine you have a tiny powder that explodes when it gets hot, that’s what happens in fireworks! When the firework is lit, a special mix of chemicals inside reacts with oxygen in the air, making a bright flash and a loud bang. This reaction creates the spark we see in the sky.
Examples
- A sparkler in your hand burns bright when you light it, just like a firework!
- When you drop a matchstick into water and light it, it creates little flames that float up, similar to fireworks!
- If you mix baking powder with vinegar, it fizzes and bubbles, this is a small version of a firework reaction!
