Webquest 5-16
We just watched a short video about fireworks. Now you are going to embark on an exciting journey through the chemistry of fireworks.
Kaboom! Oooh! Aahh! The golden sparkles explode and float down the darkened sky, thrilling everyone watching below. Every Fourth of July, millions of Americans go to local parks to watch exciting fireworks presentations. Fireworks have been a familiar part of celebrations for centuries. For most of that time, the designing of fireworks was a craft. Only recently have people begun to try and understand the science involved in creating the spectacular fireworks displays we all enjoy. What are the component parts of fireworks? What chemical compounds cause fireworks to explode? What chemical compounds are responsible for the colors of fireworks?
Your job in this WebQuest is to discover the component parts of fireworks, and to identify the chemical compounds that are responsible for the brilliant colors that light up the sky as fireworks explode. You will explore the history of fireworks and find out when the first fireworks were invented. You will learn about firework design and how fireworks are built. You will also find out what chemical compounds are responsible for the colors seen in fireworks. Finally, you will answer a set of questions about fireworks to demonstrate what you have learned about the chemistry of fireworks.

THE ART OF NEON WEBQUEST!!!! 4-13
Your job in this WebQuest is to explore the chemistry behind neon signs, and learn how the different colors of these signs are made. You will discover exactly how the noble gases are inserted into glass tubing, and how the gases are made to glow. You will also learn how different colors of neon signs are created. You will find out how neon glass tubing can be bent and how neon artists create their works of art. Then you will answer a set of questions about neon signs. If time permits you might design your own Neon art!
Access the online activity here!
Resources for the Online Activity:
WebElements – The Periodic Table on the WWW. Visit this site for information on the noble gases. You can click on any element in this periodic table to read about that element and its properties. Click on any of the noble gases to find out about that element.
Krypton Neon – Everything you ever wanted to know about Neon. Go to this site to find the answers to questions you might have about neon and neon lights. This site is intended more for neon artists than chemistry students.
Neon Knights: Part 1: An Exploration of Neon. At this site you can find out about the discovery of neon and how neon signs operate. Scroll down and click on how are artists using neon to learn more about neon as art.
Neon Colors. Visit this site to see many of the possible colors found in neon signs. Notice that colors listed are made with just three elements.
