Abstract
Fireworks are used throughout the world to celebrate important events such as new year's eve. National legislation for fireworks differs due to religion and culture, as well as considerations on pollution, dangers and expenses. Fireworks are very well known and appreciated amongst children of all ages. Because of the differences across countries, this realistic context fosters cultural diversity in chemistry education. Furthermore, when examined from an environmental or communal perspective, fireworks give rise to many different views and opinions on its use and impact
