| Summary: | Matthew Tosh is a regular demonstrator on the firework circuit with the appropriate professional qualifications. He visits Chew Magna School near Bristol to demonstrate his skills and relates the experiments to the KS3/4 science curriculum. Some of his demonstrations include combustion basics, oxidation and oxidising agents, creating a flash, displacement reactions, making your own delay fuse, sparklers, flame colours, and generating thrust. Matthew shows teachers how to carry out the experiments safely with advice from CLEAPSS. Matthew Tosh shows us the science behind firework displays which can't be performed in the classroom. In an explosive programme Matthew shows us his personal Top 10 demonstrations including flash powder mixes, Chinese firecrackers, gerbs and conical fountains, rockets, learning about the physics of ballistics and the chemistry behind coloured lances. Relating the experiments to the KS3/4 science curriculum Matthew also highlights the very real dangers of working with explosives and the safety precautions professional pyrotechnics engineers need to take. |
