Discussion:We discussed what would happen to the piece of metal once heated up on a hot flame

Results: The results were that the strip of magnesium would heat up when heat was conducted to it.The energy from the heat would conduct a light that sparked from the magnesium

Conclusion In conclusion the heat and energy that was conducted from the Bunsen burner made the strip of magnesium hot therefore making it spark up
