to make 300g we need........ (use scales that have the decimal for more accurate measurements, but its not that important)
206.1g of thermite

Like all soluble barium compounds, barium nitrate is toxic by ingestion or inhalation. Symptoms of poisoning include tightness of muscles (especially in the face and neck), vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, muscular tremors, anxiety, weakness, labored breathing, cardiac irregularity, and convulsions. Death may result from cardiac or respiratory failure, and usually occurs a few hours to a few days following exposure to the compound. Barium nitrate may also cause kidney damage. Wikipedia.
So, if anybody breaths in the smoke, or handles the barium nitrate, ot the thermate, with bare hands, keep an eye on them for the next week or so. If symptoms occur:
Solutions of sulfate salts such as Epsom salts or sodium sulfate may be given as first aid for barium poisoning, as they precipitate the barium as the insoluble (and non-toxic) barium sulfate.
And, of course, seek medical care.
