- Summary:
- Matthew Tosh shows us the science behind firework displays which can't be performed in the classroom. In an explosive programme Matthew shows us his personal Top 10 demonstrations including flash powder mixes, Chinese firecrackers, gerbs and conical fountains, rockets, learning about the physics of ballistics and the chemistry behind coloured lances. Relating the experiments to the KS3/4 science curriculum Matthew also highlights the very real dangers of working with explosives and the safety precautions professional pyrotechnics engineers need to take.
