Description
In this activity, students will learn how metals react with each other. They will see these metals change before their eyes as they coat a paperclip with the copper taken from a penny. Students can extend their learning using one of the Extensions provided: students can change the reactants to see if there are any observable changes in products; they may also wish to design their own reactions with the hopes of coating metal objects of their own.
