    The entropy of a firecracker is much less before it explodes than afterwards.

    Entropy is a measure of the degree of disorder in a system.

    Before the explosion, everything is packed in a small volume inside a cardboard tube.

    After the explosion, the contents have been converted largely to gases and finely divided solids spread over a large volume of the sky.

    The latter situation is more disordered, so it has a higher entropy.
