Astronomers can figure out what distant stars are made of (in other words, their atomic composition) by measuring what type of light is emitted by the star. In this science project, you can do something similar by observing the color of flames when various chemicals are burned.
Introduction: (Initial Observation) Light bulbs are available in many different sizes, wattage and styles. Almost all light bulbs get hot, some more and some less. Heat of light bulb may be high enough to cause fire. A piece of paper or cotton cloth next to a hot light bulb is a recipe for disaster.
