2. Mr. Carroll decides to open his new business around blimps to host blimp rides for the local
community in Woodstock. Mr. Carroll is a bit cheap, however, and has decided to use Hydrogen Gas as
his main fuel source for his fleet of blimps. Would you ride in a blimp filled with hydrogen? Why would
hydrogen gas be bad to use in a blimp? Is there an alternative gas we could use? (3 T/I) (3 COMM)

Fireworks!

People like to set off fireworks on July 1st. It is a tradition. They do it to honor Canada Day. Fireworks were first
created long ago. They are even older than Canada!

Fireworks were invented in China over 1000 years ago. Two Chinese scientists were doing a test. They mixed some
things together. They were trying to make a drink. But it exploded. What they ended up making was gunpowder. It
was the first model of a firework.

John Conkling is a scientist. He knows a lot about fireworks. He said the first fireworks were very simple. Over
time, they changed. The Chinese got more and more creative. They started adding other things to the gunpowder.
This made fireworks of different colors. Each firework has elements inside it. The elements are special. Everything
on Earth is made out of elements.

Some elements make different colors when they burn. Most colors come from metals. Some metals make red and
purple. Others make blue, orange and yellow. Some even make silver.

A firework starts by lighting a fuse. This is a length of cord. It carries the flame up into the firework. This shoots the
firework into the air. As it flies up, chemicals inside start to burn. They get very hot. They heat the main case of the
firework. Soon the case explodes.

Pellets fly out. The pellets hold the chemical color mix. They burn and give off light. They glitter in the sky. This
makes the firework shape we see. A fireworks show is not simple. Each one uses many fireworks. They have to be
lined up on the ground.

In the past, someone had to light them one by one. That slowed things down. It was unsafe, too. The person had to
run away after lighting them. Today, someone can light them all at once with a switch. They can set off many
fireworks at the same time. They can also set them off from far away.
