      There are so many ways to make an explosion! You probably can already guess a few ways – can you?

      Hmmm I don’t think I am allowed tell you in case you explode something! 😉

      There are indeed many ways to make an explosion and some of those things you will do in school. And that’s all I’m going to tell you 😉
      Making things explode can be very dangerous if you aren’t 100% sure of what you are doing.

      Perhaps you could ask your chemistry teacher to do some explosive experiments!

      Some of my favourite times in chemistry were the experiments with alkali metals (like sodium) or the thermite reaction!
