There are several people on eBay at this very time selling magnesium ribbon in 25g coils. Go to ebay and in the search box type in magnesium ribbon and you should have at least 3 sellers. In the UK the major suppliers are Griffin & George in Middlesex and Philip Harris in Birmingham. Merk sold just chemicals and I think they're in London. You probably have to be a recognised educational establishment with an account to buy material from these sources.

Well that would depend on what classes you are in and how advanced you are. If allowed for math and science I would say TI-83 calculator (will come in handy in college, too). If you can't afford it at least get a scientific calculator and check with your school if they loan out graphing calculators for Adv. Math students. Notebooks for every class except when it's obvious ones when you don't need one like physical classes. Get the bigger notebooks there isn't a big price difference so it'll be worth it. I suggest many mechanical pencils and try to keep at least two on at a time in case one runs out of lead or gets stuck for some reason. Pens will be needed since you'll have to sign many things and some teachers ask you to use pens for other things. I suggest one or two pens of each of the following colors: red, black, blue. An SD card or other storage device I'd suggest 4GB but at least get a 2GB and keep all the projects for future references. ruler(s), eraser(s), Compass (math tool), binders, folders, Locker shelves, book covers, construction paper, tape, scissors, white out, Really though you should just ask your teachers what materials will be needed (most will probably tell you the first day). FYI gum will help you concentrate if allowed in classes and if you can chew it quietly

You should ask the lab attendant of your school where he gets his or to buy you some.
It worked for me, I got magnesium powder like that. Imagine the explosion it made when mixed with potassium nitrate and sulphur!

Magnesium filing mixed with wax to make your own candle is great

I recommend contacting Aldrich. They have a large inventory of chemicals. You can look them up at Aldrich.com. They do all the shipping and the compounds are good purity and priced well.
