Fireworks Sounds

Narrow tubes of

fireworks create

Short,thick tubes make

blunt, deep sounds

Electron States

Electrons begin at ground state

As the firework explodes the electrons

jump to excited state

When the electrons are jump back

down from the excited state back to

ground state the electrons emit light

Sparking Effects

Iron

Titanium

Antimony

Phosphorous

unpredictable

Chemicals can be

exposed to someone

during explosions

Also, fire can be a hazard http://w8themes.com/wp-

hazardous to the environment

These gases are creating large holes on the

ozone layer
