Sparks and light are given off in a small-scale thermite reaction when two rusty iron spheres—one wrapped in aluminum foil—are struck together with a glancing blow. The collision provides enough activation energy to allow the reaction to occur, resulting in the formation of aluminum oxide and large amounts of heat. The bright yellow sparks result from microscopic amounts of extremely hot molten iron being thrown out into the air.
