Scipad

Aim: To make a metal oxide and observe the difference in properties of the products compared to the reactants
Method: 1. Light your Bunsen Burner
              2. Hold your piece of magnesium in the scissor tongs. Ensure you are holding onto the very                       tip of the magnesium
              3.place the other end of the magnesium into the Bunsen flame (at the top of the blue flame)
              4. When Magnesium begins to burn, do not look directly at it, as the light emitted can                                  permanently damage your eyes

Observation: a bright light was presented

Discussion: The Magnesium when we put it in the fire it would burn the magnesium and turn it into magnesium oxide, this would make an bright light

conclusion: it worked because it made a bright light
