To be fair my school had the exact same sodium story, except that it was dropped into a toilet instead of a pool.

What... what exactly are you envisioning fire might do to water to render it "not ok"? :Oo:

make it too warm

You should be fine as long as you wear safety goggles

Wear overalls too just in case

You... you mean... there are people out there who aren't ALWAYS wearing safety goggles?

I think if they had built the pool at my school like they promised, we might have had that story. :mad2:

They should've built it on the roof. And it should've had a leak.

I don't know what possessed you to come up with this brilliantly stupid idea. Do it.

There's a new pool at uni, it's huge, I should do something crazy to it like that chemical bomb trout.

Sodium is the second least reactive alkali metal. Did he toss in like 20 pounds? o_O

---

Seriously at least get some cesium up in there

---

Why stop at cesium? Get some Francium instead. Just a warning though, good luck actually getting some considering how rare it is. :p

My high school Chemistry class also started with blowing up sodium. We only used about 2 grams in a beaker in a fume hood. My teacher wanted to make salt with the sodium and some chlorine gas, but couldn't get the chlorine. :(
