Fireworks – Did you Welcome the New Year With a Bang?

A lesson by Tabea Heimbach.

Do you have any New Year’s resolutions? How about being more environmentally friendly? Help your students to create more awareness about the past New Year’s Eve (NYE) celebrations. This lesson focuses on the environmental impact of fireworks. Use the materials to find out about your students’ NYE traditions.

With this lesson your students will:

• Find out more about the environmental impact of fireworks
