There's no better way to make a lesson stick than by adding explosions. People in teen comedies picked up on that years ago. Nothing on God's green earth is more volatile than the science laboratory materials of a fictional high school. Not even Tokyo. Experiments can be reasonably expected to combust, detonate, singe off a few eyebrows, cause Ash Face, scorch the ceiling, blow out windows, force the evacuation of that wing of the building and/or attempt to attack their creators. If they don't, the class Gadgeteer Genius builds a transdimensional collapsatron out of paperclips. This is not in the least helped by the teachers, as this is a popular position for the Professor or Mad Scientist. Often they have left a university or a private research institution, possibly through the roof. Compare Disastrous Demonstration and Explosive Results. Examples |

Ranma ½ does this in the Animated Adaptation of Ryoga's introductory arc. The Chem Club students want to get their hands on Akane and decide to make bombs, which they of course accidentally set off in the chemistry lab (and wind up setting off accidentally during the battle when the mines fail to go off during Ranma/Ryoga's fight). | |

Bill Nye the Science Guy embraced this trope. "And now, for a really big chemical reaction."..... BOOM. Bill once displayed the chemical formula for nitroglycerin. He then proceeded to drop the formula, and it exploded. | |

The chemistry test in Murderess. It requires students to mix five ingredients from an assortment of test tubes, and actually states in its instructions that a small explosion would cause a 10 point deduction, and a large one would cause a 40 point one. Lu, having no knowledge whatsoever in chemistry, randomly mixes five ingredients and causes a major explosion… which occurs, strangely enough, on Bridget’s desk. | |

MythBusters pretty much exemplifies this trope. No episode is complete without something exploding (for educational purposes For Science!, of course!). It was so popular, Discovery decided to distill the explosions into a new show—Smash Lab. Too bad they forgot that the success of MythBusters is due as much to the people who run it as the experiments themselves. | |

Harry Potter: At Hogwarts, things blowing up or catching fire is about the least harmful thing that can happen in a classroom. Spilled potions cause boils to sprout all over, or cause whatever they hit to swell to enormous size (whether that's hands, nose, eyeballs, you name it.) Then again, the explosion of the Swelling Solution was deliberate... This is a big part of the reason why Hogwarts exists: underage wizards are expected to make mistakes and/or release accidental magic, and it's better to have them all in one place with competent adults to fix the disasters. Plus, with magic medicine, anything that isn't instantly fatal is generally fixable. |

The Dresden Files: In White Night, Harry, under a lot of pressure and stressed to the eyeballs, gives into anger and tests Molly by seeing whether or not she can shield herself against a slow-moving fireball. He cancels the spell once he sees she's about to break down. Keep in mind Harry himself admits he's not great at off the cuff magic that isn't big and violent. He'd been planning the ball of sunshine trick for awhile because Molly needed to be taken down a peg. His reaction to the stress and whatnot came a page earlier, where he liquified a metal garbage can and rained molten steel on a bunch of outfit-owned shops. In Small Favor, Harry reveals that he and his Evil Mentor, Justin DuMorne, used to play catch as part of practice. With fireballs. |

Discworld: The entire purpose of the Alchemist's Guild seems to be to accidentally blow things up. As one description put it, "Most of the time, the Alchemist's Guild was across the street from the Gambler's Guild. Other times, it was above it, or below it, or falling in small pieces all around it." Their synthetic ivory is of particular note — unlike most endeavors, the process went swimmingly; they managed it in about a week. Unfortunately, the formula still needs fine tuning, as their billiards games keep getting interrupted by exploding balls. Amusingly, this is a very slightly exaggerated version of the real history of synthetic ivory. The first viable substitute for ivory in billiard balls was a mixture of nitro cellulose (guncotton), camphor, and acetone (very flammable). As guncotton ages it becomes more sensitive to percussion, and so every now and then... "I done seen it all, Sheriff. It were the cue ball what shot first." Cheery Littlebottom, asked how she'd parted company with the Guild, replied as follows: |

Bullseye (1990) had Roger Moore as a conman posing as Bavistock, one of two scientists who've invented a fusion reactor. The scene foreshadows the ending where the scientists are revealed to be frauds themselves, and the fusion reactor they've designed blows up when Margaret Thatcher turns on the power at the official opening ceremony. | |

In The Amazing Spider-Man, Professor Connors is fighting Peter in his high school, and their battle takes them through the chemistry lab. Connors sees two bottles on the desk, picks them up and mixes them together, and hurls them after Peter before they explode like a grenade. Either the evacuation interrupted what would have been an extremely ill-advised chemistry demonstration, or their universe has some incredibly bad procedures for lab safety. Oh, right, it's the second one, that's why a spider/human and a lizard/human are currently battling each other. | |

Tintin. Happens twice in "Tintin: Land of Black Gold". An oil executive is telling Tintin that he's confident his team of scientists will find the answer as to why petrol is exploding without cause, when one of them rings to report failure. Oh and if they want him to continue, they'll have to build a new lab! In the end Professor Calculus finds the answer, but only after destroying a large part of Marlinspike Hall, much to Captain Haddock's outrage. | |

Spider-Man: This is more or less a part of Spider-Man's origin. He attended a seminar on radioactive energy. The machines used produced a beam of radiowaves between two generators. The generators were not separated from the public, nor were they sealed off to avoid a random spider falling into the beam and biting a certain Peter Parker. In later retellings, an explosion occurred. | |

El Goonish Shive briefly subverts this: in a setting rife with magic, weresquirrels, Hammerspace and people who seem unable to hold onto their gender for 24 hours straight, the science teacher is a completely ordinary person who's exasperated by the disrespect the main characters pay to the laws of physics. It should be noted, however, that the first real plotline in the comic was about a science experiment that had come to life and attacked, although when it came back to life a few plotlines later it was retconned to have been an attack by an interdimensional rival instead. | |

Doctor Who: The Meet Cute between the Doctor and Jo Grant. The Doctor is singing "I don't want to set the world on fire..." when his equipment blows up, producing copious amounts of smoke. Jo grabs a fire extinguisher and douses the laboratory bench, only to get shouted at by the Doctor for ruining three months of work. | |

Blake's 7. In "The Harvest Of Kairos", Avon is poking an alien rock with a technical implement in the foreground, as the others are busy with tactical technobabble. It gives off a small explosion and they all turn to him. | |

Bully: You get a minor bang if you fail chemistry. Notably, if you succeed, you get the ability to make firecrackers. Bear in mind that the key ingredient in these, if memory serves, is black powder, isn't it? | |

The parody Bullshot references this trope when Professor Fenton's ditzy daughter drops something in his lab, causing an explosion. "Careful Rosemary! That's how we lost mummy!" His mood changes however when it's revealed the explosion has produced the catalyst he's looking for. | |

Satomi Hakase in Negima! Magister Negi Magi has done this at least once, exactly as the main group were entering her lab. Naturally done for humour with everyone only a bit blackened with a few hairs out of place. | |

Breaking Bad: The scene in the pilot episode introducing Walt's teaching job has him spraying chemicals into a fire, changing its color, to demonstrate that chemistry is the study of change. It only amuses two students. A scene cut from the finale where Walt pays off a former student who recognizes him would've called back to this moment. | |
