My son teaches chemistry. He likes to show experiments that his students can relate to. In this example, he wants to show what happens when you pour some water on calcium carbide.

Adventures in Natural Beekeeping 
Hi, I’ve been following your blog for a while, but I’ve never commented before today.
I just had to tell you, though, that my kids and I think that is the most awesome thing we’ve ever seen! LOL! How did your son get the pumpkin to explode with that perfect jack-o-lantern face?
Terrific video! We enjoyed it a lot!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. I asked my son the same thing. He says he carved the pumpkin with the face, then plugged the pieces back in for the experiment. This was his third class and he was hoping the scorch marks didn’t show on the pieces.
Cool! Thanks for the answer. Maybe next year, we’ll have to try this for ourselves!
Love it! First thing tomorrow I’ll be sharing this with my youngest as part of his homeschool curriculum!
Uh, I’m assuming you’re just going to be showing him the video and not actually trying it out. 🙂
Yes, I think that’s wise!
