Make Your Own Fireworks Show!
Students can make their own online fireworks with this site.

Independence Day is more than a chance for family and friends throughout the country to gather for barbecues and fireworks displays, it is an annual celebration to commemorate the courage and faith of our founding fathers in their pursuit of liberty. Using this site students can read about the history of Independence Day, see a Fourth of July Video Gallery, and map early America.
