This is the part that always makes me cringe: "Liston said the experiment had been conducted many times in the past, including Monday, with no incidents." Before the pandemic, it was my passion trying to reach as many teachers out there to let them know that it is not worth the risk to do these things...but it was a lot of work and I have run out of steam.

Select quotes from the story:

"The class was conducting a science experiment similar to one conducted many times before, but for reasons yet to be determined, "There was a flash fire and explosion," said Sullivan County Sheriff Clark Cottom."

and

"The goal was to change the color of the flame, but the reaction was different. They used a different material without changing mixing ratios, Hooper said, based on his son's account."
