Just in time for the 4th of July here in the US, we're talking about everyone's favorite explosive aerial show, fireworks! Discover everything about how these festive sparklers work right along with Dr. Dimos and Dr. Lex. On this episode we discuss the components of fireworks that make them combust, how the colors are formed and even how to make shapes (guess which shapes are our favorites). We also delve into new manufacturing methods and some potential downsides of fireworks. Of course we also have our helpful glossary of scientific terms and a fun fact for your next cocktail party or fireworks display.
