Better Living Through Chemistry
Ben greeted is class with goggles shoved up onto his hair and an eager grin on his face. "Today we're going to play with thermite because it's a really astral explosion."
He handed out some Etch-a-Sketches and hammers. "Okay, first we need to break the aluminum powder out of these toys, then we'll add it to the iron oxide. This is pretty much the same stuff that's on sparklers, but we're going to have a lot more than just a kid's toy."
After they'd made their mixtures, Ben handed out rolls of magnesium strip. "Now use this as a fuse, then light 'em up!"

Hit it with a hammer!
Talk while you do. It's more fun that way.
Re: Hit it with a hammer!
It reminded him of the time he built his first bomb.
He was three. Most of the house smelled like smoke for weeks.
Ahhh. Good times.
Re: Hit it with a hammer!
Nope. Unless she was drawing boxes and straight lines, she was pretty much hopeless.
Well. That made breaking it apart with a hammer much more satisfying.
Light it up!
Oooooooh.
Re: Light it up!
Nope instead he was just looking at the fire and thinking about home and how he'd have to physically restrain Jeremy from getting too close and lighting his hair on fire.
"I'm not sure how this is better living but I don't care," Barry said aloud.
Re: Light it up!
Yes! Explosion achieved!
Write it down!
Re: Write it down!
However he might be getting too descriptive and including atomic diagrams to illustrate his documentation.
Re: Write it down!
Science was awesome.
Talk to Ben!
