Try to crack polyethylene or polypropylene in the lab using LEAPSS microscale equipment. Here is a link to a video on https://youtube.com/watch?v=oFspaqYZsDk&t=10s. The yield is below 50% which is a good talking point. You collect enough gas to test for double bonds and burn the gas to show a smoky flame.
Universities could analyse the gas components because I doubt it is pure ethene, We need many more practical activities in this area.
