Line 52:
* Occurs in several tales on ''[[Are You Afraid of the Dark?]]'': A [[High School]] is haunted by the ghost of a girl who died in a lab explosion... The school [[Nerd]] defeats an evil water spirit (made of water) with manganite ("Mix water with manganite and kaboom!") and [[And Some Other Stuff|other chemicals]] from the school lab...
* ''[[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.
* ''[[Myth BustersMythBusters]]'' pretty much exemplifies this trope. No episode is complete without something exploding (<s>for educational purposes</s> [[For Science!]], of course!). It was so popular, Discovery decided to distill the explosions into [[Follow the Leader|a new show]]--''Smash Lab.'' Too bad they forgot that the success of ''[[Myth BustersMythBusters]]'' is due as much to the people who run it as the experiments themselves.
* ''[[Brainiac: Science Abuse]]'': It doesn't matter what they're experimenting with, they're going to blow something up.
* ''[[Dead Gorgeous]]'': In the first episode, Hazel causes a (small) explosion in the school lab despite her experiment seeming to involve nothing more dangerous than coloured foam.
