As part of Sevenoaks Science Week we took a group of Y8 pupils to see an indoor pyrotechnics lecture.
We learned all about the chemistry of fireworks. There were some big bangs and quite a few ohhs and arghs as we learned how to make colours and sparkles.
Many thanks to Sevenoaks for inviting us and Mathew Tosh from Skyburst fireworks company for his excellent lecture.
