Monday - period 1 - Fuck Yeah Science

Notifications were delivered to all the students to report to the Danger Shop for today’s class. When they arrived they would find Barry had set the room to idyllic nature scene of a lake with a walkable pebbled shore. Birds were chirping. The sky was blue with only a wisp of clouds floating by.

“So in the past two weeks you’ve had to deal with family, gremlins and talking animals who know fucking way too much about you. So. Today? We’re going to blow shit up.”

He picked up a large jar which appeared to co rain a grey metal which was stored in viscous goo. “This is the metal known as sodium which does not occur naturally in nature. It’s usually bonded with other elements. Like table salt. This is pure sodium which is usually stored in a type of oil to prevent it from reacting with other elements. Such as water.”

Unscrewing the lid he pulled out the large hunk of sodium using a towel to hold it in his hand. “When combined with water it has an exothermic reaction. Which in layman terms means-“

And yes that was Barry chucking a huge chunk of virtual sodium into a virtual lake causing a large massive explosion.

“- it explodes.”

Isn’t this better than Mentos and Diet Coke?

He then gestured to the other containers of sodium nearby. “Safety protocols are in place so there’s no chance in harming yourself. So go nuts.”
