Metals and oxygen

 Aim: to make a metal oxide and observe the difference in properties of the product compared to the reactants

Equipment a piece of magnesium, bunsen buner, saftey glasses, metal scissor tongs

method: 

1. light your bunsen buner

2. hold your piece of magnesium in the scissor tongs. ensure that you are holding onto the very tip of the magnesium

3. place the other end of the magnesium into the bunsen buner flames ( at the top of the blue flame)

4. whe the magnesium begins to burn, do not look directly at it, as the light emitted can permanently damages your eyes.

Results: it made a big bright light
