What are Fireworks Made Of?
Saturday June 24, 2006
Did you ever wonder where all those pretty colors came from as you watched the fireworks streak across the sky every 4th of July?
If you're into science, it has probably crossed your mind. Our Chemistry Guide, Dr. Anne Marie Helmenstine, has provided some fascinating answers.
We all know that we couldn't have fireworks without gunpowder, so she's provided an article on gunpowder facts and history. Next, she explains how scientists come up with all those beautiful displays with the chemistry of fireworks colors. But that's not all! Remember sparklers? Find out how sparklers work and then impress your friends this summer.

You really didint anwser the question because the title that pops up on the google search engine, clearly says, what are fireworks made of? and all you are talking about is the history of gunpowder and what makes the fireworks colorful and who cares about what makes a sparkler work!!!! Stay on the topic!!!PLEASE!!!
on the contrary, the answer explains a lot.
wtf!!! i asked a question then you asked a question back
Please use the links in the article! I’m linking to some great articles written by the Guide to Chemistry. She explains it all!
next time say more and what its mage of because you did not!!!!!!
!
Y didn’t you answer the question? i needed this information for skool…. UU just wasted my time on the site. Next time youo should answer the question or write about another topic…..
you havent anwserd my question
thios is kinda dumb … i have to search up about fireworks and what they are made out of… this wasnt very hel[pful at all!:(
u cant answr a question r u retard? i think u r you didnt help me at all
i don’t like this site it didn’t help me
u didn’t help me it says that u help with how fireworks are made and u don’t y
i wont visit this site again ever
It was very thoughtful of whoever made this website to make it, and it tells a lot of things about the history of gun powder, which I find quite interesting. But, on the contrary, I think that what whoever made it didn’t really think about what the question was and how to answer it. I mean, the search from ask.com or yahoo or google or whatever says clearly, What are fireworks made of? And the author didn’t answer that question. If you think I am right, give me feedback and tell me why.
Thank you very much!
Judging from the spelling of some of the entries who claimed to need the information for school all I can say is “give up now”. You guys are obviously brain dead already and are just wasting tax payers’ money on your education.
this website has nothing about fireworks its due tommorrow
wtf u didnt answer my mother freakin question this is a waste of time this site is wack whoever made it up needs to get seud!!!!!!!
