Every Fourth of July I have watched the fireworks and wondered how they work. It turns out that each firework is just a precisely formed combination of chemicals and fuel, that is carefully gauged to generate a particular effect.
Fireworks produce three conspicuous forms of energy: bright light, heat, and a huge release of sound. The colors that we see are created by heating metal salts, like sodium nitrate or calcium chloride, that produce certain colors. The atoms of each element absorb energy and release it as light of specific colors. This happens because when an atom absorbs energy it rearranges its electrons from the ground state, up to an excited state. The ground state is when the electrons are in their lowest-energy state. The excited
The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire is one of the most well known fire that has every happened in American Industrial history. The company was owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris who were rumored to have purposely caught their past companies on fire to collect the large fire insurance payment. This was not the case with this fire but Harris and Blanck did not take responsibilities for safety measures. Deadly fires are bound to happen when the owners of a company neglect the safety of their workers and that is what caused this fire.
What happened the day of the Triangle Fire? What progressed after it? On Saturday, March 25, 1911. At 4:25, which was 5 minutes before closing time at the Triangle Shirt Factory.

Though it is not certain, people believe that a cutter flicked a cigarette butt or hot ash, into one of the waste bins with flammable cloth in them. Many of the garment workers before the year of 1911 were unorganized, mostly because they were young immigrant

There is much to consider when expanding a business. How will you make, market, and distribute your product. Are you willing to take full liability for your product and understanding the legalities of what happens if your product is defective? Once that has been established, it’s important to make sure that your business dealings are in order. The strength of the contract and what all it entails.

Every 4th of July, many people go out at night and spend hours watching firework shows. Most of us are content to simply enjoy the pretty colors and sparks, without questioning the chemistry behind the spectacle, but have you ever really thought about how fireworks produce such vibrant colors? The colors emitted when a firework explodes come from an aerial shell inside the firework that contains explosive chemicals and metallic salts. These colors appear to us because of luminescence. Luminescence occurs as a result of the valence electrons in the metal salt atoms moving and changing positions. The explosion of fireworks is not a miracle; it’s simply chemistry at work.

People are always trying to come up with new ways to express their creativity through their vehicles. Different body or frame modifications can be seen at every truck show, in the parking lot at the mall, or even driving by on the freeway. Every color imaginable has been painted on the metal canvas of every type of vehicle on the road today. Some even have multiple colors in various images displayed on the hoods, sides and tailgates. One of the most popular images of the past decade are flames. These different displays of creativity are an excellent way to draw wanted and unwanted attention to the driver and to the vehicle. Imagine this scenario: a mini-truck with bright blue flames stretching from bumper to roll pan, dragging the frame on the ground
For our group demonstration, Pam and I chose to do a fire tornado with the coloration of red, white and blue. We chose to do this because we thought that a fire tornado would be something that would be both fascinating and captivating to present; and the fact that it was it would be the colors symbolic of America was another added wow-factor. Throughout the rest of the paper I shall briefly explain and outline the safety precautions of this demonstration and the procedure, too. Also, I shall outline the materials that were used, along with the reaction that is taking place for this demonstration.
