Title:
Students light teacher on Fire: Mr. Durdel Arcola High School Burning Man 2008

Description:
Mr. Durdel presents Burning man 2008 at Arcola High School. I threw a little review between burns. This is a variation of the methane mamba demo that I did at first by accident, but it turned out pretty good, so I make it an annual tradition right before Fall exams (the week before Christmas break). This year I let my seniors take part in the holding of the flame, which are methane gas (CH4)-infused bubbles. For a review, I asked exam questions before the student was able to light the bubbles aflame. I also threw in a thermite reaction demo. This is a very dangerous demo, but a spectacular one. Notice all of the safety precautions that were taken during this demo. Fire blankets, fire extinguishers, and several buckets of water. All the students had a great time during this year's burning man and I can't wait until next year.

Filmed in IB Chemistry HL II...Block 4. Don't you just loveee our reaction when it bursts into flames? "WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" and Meredith's reaction, "It's gonna come at us!!" lol. I love my chemistry class :o) Explanation: Methane, or natural gas, is less dense than air, so when bubbles are blown with it, they rise. Methane is combustible, that is, when a flame or spark is applied, it will react rapidly with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water and produce heat and a flame. CH4 ...
