1st Year Science students experiment with Magnesium Oxide (MgO)
On Thursday, 13thJanuary, 1st Year students did an experiment called Magnesium Oxide or (MgO). This involved each of us getting a piece of Magnesium which is a shiny metal that burns brightly in air.

When the Magnesium was burnt, all that was left was white powder that would dissolve slightly in water to make Milk of Magnesia.
