We were interested in pyrotechnics because we wanted to know how to be a pyrotechnic. I found out that becoming a pyrotechnic doesn't need formal education but you need 3 years of experience. I was surprised that they can earn around $30 - $60 depending on how experienced they are. Pyrotechnics work on stage shows, films, televisions and events. They work with light, fireworks and smoke devices. Part of the works also include paperwork, planning and building stands for the fireworks. Some people think that it is easy but it's not, about 3,000 people die per year from serious injuries or misfires.

Formal And Informal Rules

Formal rules are rules that everyone needs to follow whether it be at school or at home. Most of the time if it isn’t followed, you get a punishment.

Informal rules are rules that are made up but it doesn’t have to be followed. Teacher can make their own rules for their class but the whole school doesn’t have to do it.
