Here’s something to bring a little science to your Independence Day celebration: This Friday at 7 p.m., Tellus Museum in Cartersville will host a lecture about the chemistry of fireworks. The lecture will be presented by Bob Gossman, who is a senior program manager for the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations and a former high-school chemistry and physics teacher. The lecture is included in the cost of admission to the museum. The galleries will be open until 9 p.m.
