Super Easy Science

Everyone has been mystified by the magic of burning magnesium.  It is a project done in nearly every high school science class.  Although it is fun to watch and do, you must be careful not to cause permanent injury to your eyes.  Miniscience.com provides a 30 gram roll of Magnesium Ribbon for your experimental needs.

Magnesium ribbon can be lit with a match and it will then burn brilliantly and slowly along like a slow-motion fuse. It's really a very gentle, calm thing to see, though it will blind you if you look too long. Burning magnesium ribbon is a standard high school chemistry lab demonstration, to show that metals can burn. Iron burns too (you can light fine steel wool with a match), but magnesium burns a lot brighter.
 

Surprisingly, it's a little bit hard to buy magnesium ribbon: Standard lab supply companies won't sell it to private individuals.
