  I remember doing a fun exploding experiment with my chemistry teacher when I was doing my A-levels. I would tell you about it, but I think it is best for you to wait until you are old enough and then ask your chemistry teacher to show you 😉

  If you add any of the alkali metals (look these up on a periodic table) to water then you will get a big explosion! Rubidium is the best I think…but don’t try this at home!! You can see explosions of rubidium and water here:
