Proper method:

Take a strip of zinc and put into the hottest part of a bunsen, then place in acid (I forget which), and burn again to remove impurities.

Then dip the zinc into the powdered substance and hold in the flame, noting the colour which tells you what substance it is.

Simple version:

Mix solution of distilled water and substance, then use a spray gun to spray solution through flame for colours.
