It was our 7th grade science teacher that taught us how to make gunpowder.

He mixed up a little in the classroom and set it off.

We took good notes.

LOL. My 7th grade science teacher wouldn't teach me (probably good judgment on his part), so I went to the library encyclopedia and looked it up. I later snuck into the science lab, got the ingredients, mixed them together, poured out a line and lit it. Poof! It left a terrible scar on the wall and stunk up half the school. I eventually had to fess up. The grownups were not happy. 45 years later, that scar still remains.
