Description:
This learning activity will allow students the opportunity to observe long term corrosion of materials. The instructor will set up several jars or beakers filled with either fresh or salt water, and the class will observe the corrosion of nails, pennies and aluminum foil over time.
This activity would be appropriate for grade 4 through college level students. Two weeks should be set aside to observe the results of the experiment. Student, instructor and course evaluation questions are included. This document will serve as a framework for instructors and may be downloaded in PDF format.
