Safety
* Put on protective gloves and eyewear.
* Conduct the experiment on the plastic tray.
* Keep a bowl of water nearby during the experiment.
* Remove protective gloves before lighting the splint.

Disposal
* Dispose of solid waste together with household garbage.
* Pour solutions down the sink.
* Wash with an excess of water.

Step-by-step instructions
1. Take the hydrogen peroxide solution.
2. Some compounds, for example, manganese oxide catalyze hydrogen peroxide decomposition.
3. Prepare a smoldering splint.
4. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into oxygen and water. Oxygen fills the flask and reacts intensively with the smoldering splint. It lights up again!
