holding your hand about 1 cm above the crucible to test is still hot..Caleb!
Weigh mass before heating and weigh mass after heating. Before mass - after mass.
oxygen...it forms magnesium oxide
Sucrose will decompose (detoriate) when heated up at a temperature before it reaches melting point temperature.

It is necessary to cover the crucible when it is being heated for two basic reasons: primarily, it maintains a higher temperature inside the crucible. Without the lid, the heat simply escapes. Secondly, it keeps the material inside the crucible from splashing out.
The empty crucible is heated AND WEIGHED, so that you can drive off any moisture and/or other particles that might add to the weight of the empty crucible. You will eventually weigh the crucible again at the end of the experiment to determine the weight (mass) of some compound. Thus, it is important to have a correct "starting mass" of the crucible.
A crucible is used to contain chemical compounds when heated to extremely high temperatures.

because it is faster
oxygen. O2 was combined with magnesium when it ws heated in the crucible

Thermal energy is a product of two variables; the temperature, and the mass. If two objects having the same mass were heated to the same temperature, they would have the same thermal energy. If an object weighing ten grams was heated to 1000º C, it would have less thermal energy than an object weighing 2 tons, heated to 100º C. To demonstrate this, imagine the amounts of ice each of the above objects could melt.
