mmmm lol the schools version (
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/School_science/Screaming_jelly_babies) is like
for like. I definately don't remember scince or school open days being fun.
All I seem to recall about high school science was cutting up small animals
(I think this was part of my "sex education"), looking at the skin cells of
a fellow class mate down an ancient microscope and learning something about
litmus tests.
British school boy science in the 1980s was obviously taught by a sadly
moronic bunch of educators - the fact that a candy that looks like a human
baby screams as it bursts into flames (however demonstrative of energy)
simply reminds me why I dropped science at 14. Thank God for the Arts ;-)

Without checking the histories, it looks like a case of the lesser
evil principle not being applied. Sure, the tone and style was
incorrect. But by removing that, the details of the experiment itelf
have gone too. Is the current version really "better" and "more
encyclopaedic" than the historical version?
