Gun powder by its self does nothing ... gun power is an incendiary meaning it burns at a high temperature... making it good to project or propel object at a great distance...
Gunpowder is what is known as a "low" explosive. Gunpowder, when ignited by flame or friction (i.e. it is heat in some form that cause gunpowder to ignite), burns rapidly. This rapid burning of the gunpowder grains results in a significant amount of gas being produced. This hot gas expands quickly, producing a wave of force.
In a confined space, this gas will attempt to push against the walls of whatever is confining it. It thus makes for an excellent propellant - gunpowder produces a steadily increasing amount of gas over a relatively long time period (hundreds of milliseconds), allowing it to slowly accelerate a projectile out of a barrel.
In comparison "high" explosives (such as TNT) don't actually burn in the sense of combining with oxygen in a typical oxidation process. Rather, they detonate, and producing a supersonic shock wave of force, and it is this wave which exerts extreme force on objects. Compared to gunpowder, the shock wave from a high explosive is produced about a 10 times faster than the burning gases, and is well over 10 times more forceful. High explosives generally make very poor propellants, since this large force acts over too short a time frame to push a projectile out of a tube - rather, using a high explosive substance as a propellant will most likely burst the barrel or destroy the projectile.

The rhyme "remember, remember the 5th of November" refers to Guy Fawkes Day, celebrated in England. The full rhyme is:
Remember, Remember the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, Treason and Plot,
I see no reason why Gunpowder, Treason,
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes Day marks the downfall of the Gunpowder Plot of 5 November 1605, in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament, in London. Parliament later established November 5 as a national day of thanksgiving. Fireworks traditionally fill the skies over Britain in remembrance of the failure of the Gunpowder Plot.

Rising Action- Peter get's placed in a hospital for mixed up kids, by his step father Buck. Peter knows he doesnt belong there and needs to find a way to leave. Climax- Peters younger brother Lincoln keeps having "real dreams" about a guy with "wings" who looks similar to Peter. Peter thinks this may be his real dad who his mom said died before he turned two. Peter has nothing more to know about him. But he is going to find away to find more. Even if it means getting caught. Falling action- Scorpio (a faculty member at the hospital) helps him find info on his dad, along with Sarah who is a patient at the hospital. Peter decides to run away from the hospital in search of his dad who he believes is still alive. Lincolns "real dreams" helps Peter find his dad, by telling him what he sees in these dreams. Such as the background, people he was with, what he was wearing, what the weather was like and etc. Scorpio gives Peter a ride all the way to seatlle, where he believes his dad is.
In gunpowder plot why did only 8 people went on trial?
There were thirteen 'plotters' in the Gunpowder Plot.
Robert Catesby and Thomas Percy were both shot three days after the discovery of the plot when their house was raided- apparently with a single bullet! Christopher Wright was also killed there on the same day and John Wright was mortally wounded, so died there too.
Francis Tresham died in the Tower without having ever been publicly examined. It is not known if he died of a painful inflammation from being given too little to drink, or if he was helped on to his death.
Executed January 1606:
- Thomas Wintour
- John Grant
- Ambrose Rookwood
- Robert Keyes
- Guy Fawkes
- Thomas Bates
- Sir Everard Digby
- Robert Wintour
