In a fun Instagram post that’s now buzzing online, a high school chemistry teacher brought a little magic to the classroom. In the video, he whips up a foam substance right in his hand, then lights it up with a small lighter. The foam catches fire, creating a brilliant burst of flames, which triggers the school’s fire extinguisher in the ceiling to spring into action. It’s a spectacular show of fire and foam, mixed with a dash of safety!
The foam the teacher created could be a mixture of soap and gas, which is known to catch fire easily. When the lighter touched the foam, the gas inside it ignited, turning into a flaming spectacle right before the students’ eyes. The fire extinguisher in the ceiling sensed the heat and did its job by raining down a spray to put out the fire. It’s a real-life lesson on chemical reactions and fire safety all rolled into one.
