discussion:
Fire is what we call the heat and light produced when things burn.
I predicted that when the magnesium is put on the fire it will get very hot. I was incorrect it actually glowed bright white

Evaluation:
Other experiments related to this I could do are

*do different kinds of metal glow when it gets put on fire





Writing a scientific report

Aim:
This is what I want to find out

Hypothesis:
This is an educated guess.

Equipment:
This is a list of materials I need

Method:
These are step-by-step instructions

Results:
these are my observation  (What I can see,smell,feel,hear,taste)
I need to do my results in a table.
Also,I need to do a graph.

Discussion:
This is where I explain the results and I answer the question "Why?"

Conclusion:
This is where I say if my hypothesis was correct.

Evaluation:
This is a reflection on what went wrong and what I could have done better.
