Part 6/7:
This demonstration served not just to entertain but to educate on the safe handling of thermite and the science behind its unique properties. With its high activation energy and the critical role of aluminum oxide, thermite stands as a reminder of the careful protocols that must be followed when working with chemically reactive materials. The unpredictability of ignition highlighted the importance of understanding not just how to portray the substance, but respecting its capacities and limitations.
