Science! Club, Friday Afternoon
Each of the lab stations in the science lab had at it a large box, wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper and tied with a bow.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Sokka announced from the front of the room. "I have something VERY SPECIAL for you all today!"
He held up a sealed envelope. "In this envelope is something that EVERYONE ought to know how to make. It's one of the most important chemical compounds in this planet's history, and for those of you, like myself, who come from a world without modern conveniences, it is INDISPENSABLE for winning arguments."
"The ingredients are SULFUR, a yellow rock you can find in the ground, especially around hot springs, CHARCOAL, which is pretty easy to make but hard to make well, and SALTPETER, which you can find in white crystals on old dungheaps. Take them in exactly the right proportions, grind them up together very carefully using my father's patented method, and you get a little thing we like to call 'Hakoda's Special Number One Powder'."
He lit the envelope on fire and dropped it into an empty garbage can, where it exploded.
"Ta-da! Each lab station has a box with all your ingredients and a grinding mill. Have fun!"

Re: Make Gunpowder!
This could be interesting... you know, so long as she managed not to blow herself of anyone else up in the process. She was pretty confident she wouldn't, but she was still cautious.
