Essential Question

What is most important to consider in creating a successful pyrotechnical display?

a) This question is open ended as many answers such as safety, aesthetics, and multiple others could be brought up and defended.
b) This question allows you to take a stance because the phrase most important allows for a broad range of answers, many of which could be argued to be the most important aspect.
c) The framework for studies includes chemistry involved in making the pyrotechnic devices, engineering required in creating precise equipment, and physics/math in timing of the display.
