National Council on Fireworks Safety
"The National Council on Fireworks Safety has an excellent safety tip slide show on viewing and purchasing legal fireworks. For an animated, interactive safety lesson, click on Classroom, where you’ll also find a printable safety quiz. Although details on local ordinances are not included, you can learn about your state fireworks laws by clicking on (non-surprisingly) State Laws. If you’re in search of safety statistics (""Over the past 10 years, 30-33 percent of the injuries associated with fireworks have typically been caused by illegal explosives or homemade fireworks."") the council provides a dozen PDF documents on the topic."

Making anti-bubbles
Reviewed March 2, 2000 by Catherine Fisher, a reader from Lee, NH who is not affiliated with the site. When you’ve finished exploring the world of soap bubbles with a science class, go on to anitbubbles! What are they - they’re the opposite of soap bubbles (which are air, surrounded by a thin film of water, surrounded by air). Antibubbles are water, surrounded by a thin film of air, surrounded by water. My science students had a blast with these! After they got the hang of making antibubbles, they experimented with creating colored antibubbles, long-lasting antibubbles, and strove to create the largest antibubble they could. This class went on for two hours, and I do believe we could have gone twice that long.

"Mothers Against Drunk Driving are also against underage drinking. Their extensive site includes sections for various age groups (elementary, junior/senior high school, college, and parents); and a vast collection of scary statistics (""The median age at which children begin drinking is 13. Young people who begin drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence than those who begin drinking at age 21."") Truth & Consequences is an excellent click that debunks many popular myths about alcohol."
