What lights up in a normal bone scan?

The bones,: In a fashion similar to that of a skeleton. No areas of "hot spots" or "cold spots".

New bone matrix: The injection is something that your body uses like a phosphate (methylene diphosphonate). In general when your body makes new bone, it will "grab" some of this. In young people we see more uptake near the ends of bones where they are growing. All bones will pick a little up since we are always making new and loosing some of the old. Kidneys filter out the rest.
