well, since you're learning about this in school, you can assume that the teachers need potassium (for experiments and stuff). my teacher did a really cool experiment with potassium- potassium is really reactive (because of the group/family it's in) so it bursts into flames when it's not stored in water. so my teacher dried off chunks of potassium and set them on our lab tables... we watched, and then all of a sudden the potassium caught on fire. it was pretty cool. anyway, i hope that gave you a different perspective. there are chemical companies that sell stuff like potassium and different solutions and elements to science teachers. i hope i'm not being too vague, but i recently got banned for giving homework answers. the wikipedia page about potassium looks pretty good though.

Everyone needs potassium to survive. Bananas contain potassium. What do you mean what family is potassium in? It's a chemical element, an alkali metal. Teachers and chemists may need this. If you burn it it produces a pretty color flame. Look on the bottom of this page for ideas: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
