You Brits... Though I must admit that Darjeeling First Flush and some other teas are very good.

That site is so engaging, informative and entertaining, that I've put a link to it from the UKPS links page on our website.

Brilliant link,
How can you say science is boring with a teacher like that but it must be very difficult for a secondary school teacher to do anything like that with all the restraints there are,
But it would surely encourage more students into the sciences which we need

It depends a lot on the teacher - they have more choice than you think.
At the last school where I worked, the head of chem would take fireworks to bits for the kids in the lead up to Nov 5th and teach them Chemistry in the process. They are not all like that though...

There was a chemistry professor at my school (many years ago now!) that looked a lot like this one. He managed to put 4 kids in hospital by dropping a lump of white phosphorus that he was talking about, which then filled the class with P2O5 fumes. He never gave practical demonstrations after that, strange. Lol
