The Observer has an interesting article about how Neil Dixon, a Chemistry teacher in the UK is doing hands-on demonstration of basic sciences for his students.

The trick, apparently is to make big explosions/fireballs using fairly mundane things: in this case, a bunsen burner and powdered milk.

Check out the photos, they’re actually pretty darn cool.
