when you pour water on burning magnesium, i believe some of the water forms diatomic hydrogen and oxygen, which floats away, then explodes forming water again

it does, but it can't be what he is referring to, as he specified that what he had was more viscous than water.
another thought is fluorosulfuric acid...but then again i dunno if that would be used in school...

i figured it out myself. think of it: your lead reduces from either +2 or +4 to 0. your aluminum oxidizes from 0 to +3. just do the math and you come up with those proportions. remember, those proportions are in MOLAR values, not MASS values.

eh, im not so sure where to get lead oxides...
depends on your lead oxide...
for the monoxide:
3 moles PbO for 2 moles Al
1 mole PbO for 1 mole Mg
for the dioxide:
3 moles PbO2 for 4 moles Al
1 mole PbO2 for 2 moles Mg

you can do a thermite with just about any metal salt/oxide and a pure metal of greater activity. just make sure you powder them for nice results.
usually aluminum or magnesium is used with any of the following:
Copper(II) Oxide
Iron(III) Oxide
Iron(II)(III) Oxide
Lead(II) Oxide
Manganese(IV) Oxide
Zinc Oxide
