Our first Year 10 Chemical Reactions

1. Magnesium reacting with oxygen:

Method: We held a strip of magnesium metal in the hottest part of a bunsen burner flame till it caught fire. We didn't look directly at the reaction because (safety reason)
Observations:
1. The magnesium metal was a (description - colour, lustre, malleability)
2. The magnesium burned with a (describe what you saw)
3. After it burned (describe what the product looked like)

Include a photo/video of each observation and label them.

The word equation is:

The balanced chemical equation is:

2. Iron filings reacting with sulphur:

Method: We mixed equal amounts of iron filings and sulphur then used a magnet wrapped in paper to separate them. We mixed them again and added the mixture to a test tube and heated strongly.
Observations:
1. The iron filings were (describe the colour etc)
2. The sulphur was (describe the colour etc)
3, When we heated the tube (describe what happened)
4. After the reaction (describe the product)

Include a photo/video of each observation and label them.

The word equation for the reaction is:

The balanced chemical equation is:
