Abstract

Sparklers offer a variety of topics for chemistry education. Redox chemistry and oxidizing agents can be found in nearly all chemistry curricula worldwide. Furthermore, environmental aspects can be shown and an insight into current research topics of pyrotechnics can be provided. The focus of the unit is the production of sparklers as a school student experiment. In addition, the effects of sparklers products on living organisms are tested in a model experiment. Finally, the conditions of producing sparklers as a school student experiment are discussed. The sparkler mixtures passed several sensitivity tests. For this reason, school students can produce the sparklers according to the current German safety guidelines in education.
