This is a true story of what happened to my friend Ziggy yesterday:
My mate Ziggy's dad is a scence teacher and after school, Ziggy goes to his dad's classroom to meet him before they both go home.
Now, you've all seen the experiment in school in your science lessons where the teacher has dropped a piece of sodium or pottasium in a bowl of water and it fizzes and explodes.
Well Ziggy went in the room only to find some on his dad's desk. He picked it up, getting his hands covered in it. Ziggy then went to wash his hands (yes in the water!) when his dad suddenly shouted out "Nooooooo!" and stopped him from washing them*.
If he had washed his hands, however, the potassium on his hand would have reacted with the water and blown up! Phew!
* I don't know how he finally got it off...

Just think of all the things you couldn't do if you lost a hand....
Pottasium wouldn't 'blow off' your friends hand if he washed them with the dust on; it would make him scream and run around as it burned him but not much else (unless he spilt acid on his hands).
If of course it had been Ceasium it would be a different matter altogether...

Depends which hand ;)
Probably the most exciting thing we've ever done was decompose hydrogen peroxide with a manganese dioxide catalyst. You get cool white smoke the explodes on contact with fire! (Actualy, it's just oxygen, but lots of in vigorous quantaties).

I'm sure many of you get to practise that quite often.
Hur hur.

ok
1. Potassium is a METAL. you can't wipe it on yourself of get it "all over your hands"]
2. It is stored under oil as it would react with air.
3. If he had washed his hand it would have started reactive with the water burning his hand severly.
4. Potassium is nothing compared to ceasium. Get him to take a lump of ceasium and jump in a swimming pool with it. That would be funny. And messy.

Fancium's better; it's also radioactive!
