Fireworks are pretty incredible and have been around for more than 1000 years. Although the light and colors are pretty sweet, the science behind how it works is even more brilliant.

We cover the periodic table of elements, what color are atoms, how energy affects atoms, how fireworks are built, and what gives fireworks their color.

Squint Science is a science channel for kids, dedicated to exploring the invisible world all around us!
