      Burning Cesium (Cs) gives a blue-violet flame that’s kinda cool.

      Here is a video 🙂 Action starts around 4 minutes

      Burning magnesium gives off a REALLY bright light.

      I did it in my chemistry practicals at school, so maybe you could too.

      You have to wear sunglasses it is so bright!
