Mrs. S – If you search for “exploding pumpkins” on our website, you’ll find a page that explains the reaction (in very general terms). As you know, we don’t put specific quantities on the website because we don’t want people to get hurt. I have to tell you that this is EXTREMELY dangerous. It is not our intent to be evasive, rather to protect the safety of those who use our site and are not trained in the usage of chemicals. The experiment starts with the carving of a Jack-O’Lantern and the build up of acetylene gas which is ignited. The truth is that there really is no exact recipe since each pumpkin is different and there’s always the chance that too much acetylene gas built up in the pumpkin will make the whole thing will explode! There is a set of chemical reference books called “Shakhasairi Chemical Demonstrations” series. This chemical text series is designed as a high level chemical demonstration text. You will find the full experiment details in these books.

Hi All, I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun we had at school with this kit. About 10 days before Halloween, I started the growing body parts. I placed them in the entry to the school and created a little note about the parts signed from the mad scientist! It was a great way to create a buzz about science. My students produce a bi-monthly television show, so Halloween was the perfect time to make slime and perform some science magic experiments. The show was great! On Halloween, I dressed up in the tye dye lab coat, a crazy wig, and my safety goggles to transform into the “mad scientist”. With the help of some dry ice, the entire school (kids ages 5 to 10) were transfixed by dry ice bubbles, screaming balloons, and slime! It was such a great day. Thanks, so much for super ideas and products. The kids had such a blast, but I think I had even more fun!

I am curious about how you do the exploding pumpkin. I did a search on the site and only saw the video on the exploding pumpkin.

Thanks ,

I an a high school science teacher and I would like to do the exploding pumpkin experiment with my chemistry classes for Halloween. We are in the midst of balancing chemical reactions and identifying types of chemical reactions. THis would be a perfect time to demonstrate a combustion reaction with chemicals in a fun way. Could you please let me know the ingredients for the pumpkin. THanks.
