Create your own ring of fire with spinning steel wool sparklers! Join Anthony and Tara as they fire dance their way into the New Year.
Experiment Tips:
-Wear cotton clothes with hoods to protect your skin and hair
-Use a whisk to contain the larger pieces of steel wool from flying out
-Only try this in wet or concrete environments — i.e. beaches, gravel, cement or snow
Start a Fire in the Rain
You can use steel wool to start a fire even if it’s wet. Simply hold one part of the steel wool to the positive end of a battery and another part to the negative end.

These fireworks are very environmentally friendly. The only significant byproduct is rust, which is a common natural mineral all over the world.
