Why do fireworks go boom in the sky? What makes them sparkle with red, blue, and green light? And most importantly — how can families enjoy them safely?

In this special July 4th episode of 10 Minute Drive, we explore the exciting science behind fireworks, from the gunpowder inside to the colorful metal salts that make the sky light up. Kids will imagine themselves as “firework chefs,” mixing ingredients for the perfect sparkle. Then, we’ll take a quick trip back in time to discover how fireworks began in ancient China and became part of Independence Day celebrations around the world — from the U.S. to Canada, Mexico, India, and more.

Plus, we talk directly to kids and parents about fireworks safety: why sparklers aren’t as harmless as they seem, how to prepare for loud shows, and why the safest fireworks are the ones you watch — not hold.

Perfect for families heading to a fireworks display or celebrating from home, this episode sparks curiosity while keeping safety front and center.

Ideal for curious kids under 10.

Parent-approved, screen-free learning.

Listen before the fireworks begin!
