Mark your calendars for October 13, when T.E.S.L.A. (Tooele Engineering and Science Learning Activities) will be doing our thermite lesson for the older kids! The younger kids (grades 4-6)will be learning about metals earlier in the day; the older kids (grades 7 and up) will be lighting metals on fire. Adults are, of course, welcome, and due to huge adult interest in the subject matter, I expect the adult:child ratio to be greater than 1.
My high school Honors Chemistry teacher, Mr. Crisman, used to do all sorts of demonstrations that either went flash! :shock: or bang! :shocked: or both. :shock: :shocked:
Thermite, potassium permanganate + glycerin, pyrophoric iron, Nitrogen triiodide, and calcium carbide + water, just to name a few.

Well, since I will be out that way for the Tough Mudder on Saturday I might try to come by....if I'm not completely dead.
