Thats a good one, start with Calcium and work up. Boring to hey! Our
Chemistry teach got the amount of Potassium just a little to large and
it fizzed violently for a few seconds then exploded cracking the large
glass dish that held the water.

I wonder how they teach distillation these days? We where told to
bring in alcoholic beverages... very interesting Technical Drawing
lesson after that particular double Chemistry. B-)

The various states of Sulphur was good as well, you could hardly see
across the lab for fumes. And the look and exclamations of disgust
from other pupils when they passed the open windows was a picture.
