    It certainly makes for a pretty cool picture.

    I would buy the models. I doubt there is enough demand for that to make it commercially viable though.

    Is school a form of prison for the youth?

    Prisons are government institutions intended to influence behavior nestled in unpleasant buildings where daily life is highly regimented and tightly controlled. I hear their proms suck.

    Did that in high school. But a pond instead of a river. A short cylinder instead of a flat plate.

    It went in and made a PLORP ! noise.

    A full beat later, as Marvin the Martian would say...

    There was a great Ka-Boom!!

    Actually, that mighta been potassium the memory fades...

    It sounded like a hand grenade.
    But it was fully submerged when it detonated.
    That perhaps enhanced the effect.

    As you go down the periodic table in the alkali metal column, they become increasingly reactive with water....

    Mentos and Diet Coke are not on the periodic table...

    The caveat here is that this is per atom. A mole (6.02x10^23) of each substance's atoms will accurately depict this, but bear in mind that a mole of caesium weighs 22 times that of a mole of lithium for example.

    That's true, the elements do become heavier as you move down the periodic table. Even still, Cesium is far more reactive, which is why special precautions must be taken in its storage.
