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!"

It reminded him of the time he built his first bomb.
He was three. Most of the house smelled like smoke for weeks.
