All,
There have been great discussions on this list-serve about chemical demonstrations. So here is a video that harks back to a bygone era.

This video could be used in a safety class asking students to identify all the things done wrong by modern safety standards. Dozens!
The sexism is also stunning as this was from 1955 and Princeton University did not admit female students until 1969.
