Fun with Science! | Tuesday, 4th period

[what_the_shock]

Miguel was relieved this week was more or less normal, and it showed in his smile as he welcomed the kids to the Danger Shop.

"Right. Everybody seems to have survived last week, and there's nothing apocalyptic out there now, so we're back to having fun with science! Last week there was a bomb in the park - explosives have been around for a long time in one form or another, and some of them can get pretty deadly."

He paused. "No, we're not building bombs. But we are using explosives. This room has safeties, so we're working with this stuff while it's relatively normal. One of the more fun aspects of them is fireworks. Basically, they're ways of making exploding things fun - colors, patterns, and so forth."

He held up a tablet with information on making all kinds of fireworks. Pick a type or two. Or three. However many you think you can get done. If you have questions about getting a specific color or something, just let me know."

Listen to the lecture

Look over the instructions, wonder what your instructor is up to...

Well, now, that was a little bit of whiplash, wasn't it, between 'no we're not building bombs' and 'but we are using explosives', wasn't it? Either way, any day where Wayne could put his experience in blowing up beaver dams to good academic use was a good day in his book.

Class activity

Make your fireworks!

Wayne would have to blame the movie in his earlier class for the fact that he found himself leaning heavily toward building some firework rockets. If anything, he felt that they really sort of gave you the most bang for your buck, too, and, fuck, who just didn't love shooting rockets off into the air, either?

He wasn't making many--quality over quantity, bud--and he would actually be a little disappointed that they didn't end up nearly as big and explosive as he thought they would be (there were supposed to be little trailing sparkles! Where were his little trailing sparkles??), but it was pretty solid work all the same.

"Not bad." Miguel nodded. "What colors are you going for?"

Re: Class activity

[howareyanow]

"Red, mostleh," Wayne decided. Red was always a good one to go with. "Mebbe some yelleh....purple..."

Katy would've liked to have seen some purple, so he figured he'd include that, too.

"So you'll want strontium, sodium, and copper," Miguel said. "Extra on the strontium."

Talk to Miguel!
