Oh well, that fateful Friday, when we burnt magnesium during Science lesson.
If only i had the pictures, that would have been great.
We started off by turning on the Bunsen burner and holding the magnesium strip with tongs. (Duh!)
The strip was a shiny, greyish colour.
Just wait till you see what happens next.
Raymond put the strip into the fire.
All of sudden, the strip was on fire, and a blinding flash appeared.
In front of our eyes was not shiny magnesium any more.
It was a white coloured magnesium oxide strip, crumbling under the pressure of the tongs.
All I said was, "Cool."
