Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
During this lesson, students will try out several different solutions to discover which clean pennies the best. 

1. We will start off with discussing the scientific method, planning out our experiment, creating a hypothesis, and making predictions. 

2. Next, we will set up the experiment. Learners will need cups, vinegar, water, dish soap, salt water, soda, and Lemon juice. We will label each cup and put one solution in each cup. 

3. Students will submerge the penny in the solution and let it sit for twenty minutes. During that time, we will discuss which solutions we think will work the best and which ones won't clean the penny. We will also use this time to create conclusions and possibly amendments to the experiment.

Learning Goals

Students will learn about different solutions. 
Students will learn parts of the scientific method.
