Knock Your Socks Off
Apparatus Kit
Simple, safe and exciting “carbide
cannon” will blow your students away!
Fill the base of the apparatus with a
few grains of calcium carbide and add
water to produce flammable acetylene
gas. Wait a minute, and then ignite. The projectile, a soft sock, will be propelled
across the room!

Piezo Ping Pong Popper
By: The Flinn Staff
Safely demonstrate combustion by performing the “ping pong
popper” micro-scaled explosion! Students will love the loud
“pop” as a spark ignites alcohol in a popper and a ping pong ball
launches 20 feet across the room.
Concepts: Combustion, piezoelectricity.

Smashing Thermit Reaction
By: The Flinn Staff
Take two rusty iron balls, wrap one in aluminum foil, bang
them together and watch the fireworks! Enjoy all the
pyrotechnics of the thermit reaction without the elaborate
preparation and cleanup.
Concepts: Oxidation–reduction, single replacement reaction,
exothermic
reaction, activation energy, thermit reaction.

The Carbon Soufflé
By: The Flinn Staff
Your students will be amazed as they watch a yellow solidliquid
mixture turn brown, then black, expand out the top of the
beaker—and solidify.
Concepts: Exothermic reactions, dehydration reactions, neutralization
reactions.
Note: Perform this demonstration in a fume hood or well-ventilated lab.

The Chef
By: The Flinn Staff
In an aluminum pan, add water to the “specially
formulated” Flinn calcium oxide, and stir. Crack
open an egg and pour it in the second pan. Place it
over the solution and presto, now you’re cooking!
Concepts: Exothermic reactions, heats of reaction.

The Mini Grain Elevator Explosion
By: Lee Marek, Retired,
Naperville North H.S., Naperville, IL
Robert Lewis, Retired, Downers Grove
North H.S., Downers Grove, IL
This demonstration will illustrate the explosive
nature of a powder through the construction of a
mini grain elevator explosion. A small paint can will
be used to represent a grain elevator. Lycopodium
powder will be used as the dust.
Concepts: Surface area, combustion.

AP8729 The Mini Grain Elevator Explosion—
Chemical Demonstration Kit
$42.05
Underwater Fireworks
By: Bob Becker, Kirkwood H.S., Kirkwood, MO
Colliding bubbles of gas produce underwater explosions. This
demonstration shows how chlorine and acetylene gas can
spontaneously react at room temperature. Safely conducted
under water.
Concepts: Gases, activation energy, combustion, electron affinity,
hydrocarbons, halogens.
Note: Perform this demonstration in a fume hood or wellventilated
lab.

AP8728 Underwater Fireworks—Chemical Demonstration Kit $26.20
Thermite Reaction
By: The Flinn Staff
Flames, sparks, temperatures exceeding 2200 °C
and melted iron are all produced by this spectacular
reaction. Simply light the igniting stick with a match,
place it into a pile of thermite, and watch the reaction
take place. It’s just that easy and safe.
Concepts: Exothermic reactions, oxidation–reduction, thermite reaction.
Note: Please remember that any demonstration where the reaction exceeds temperatures
of 2200 °C should always be done behind a safety shield and conducted in a
fume hood or better yet outside. If you want to demonstrate a thermite reaction, this
Flinn kit is your best choice.

AP8984 Thermite Reaction—Chemical Demonstration Kit $69.60
Flaming Vapor Ramp
By: Bob Becker, Kirkwood H.S., Kirkwood, MO
Are volatile, flammable liquid vapors heavier
than air? Safely demonstrate to students that
using flammable liquids indoors can create a
fire hazard—even far from an open flame.
Concepts: Combustion, flammable liquids,
fire safety.
