Join us as we move Advanced STEM Club online! In September we will learn about chemical reactions by dissolving metal. Participants will have the opportunity to follow along and complete the experiments themselves!
Materials needed to participate:
Safety glasses (a pair of goggles or large glasses/sunglasses can be used)
A pair of thick rubber gloves
A pair of tongs or similar
Aluminum foil
A plastic or glass bowl (I recommend an old tupperware container that you don’t mind throwing away, if you use plastic it should be disposable, a glass bowl should be thoroughly cleaned after use)
Lye based drain cleaner - make sure the drain cleaner contains sodium hydrogen also known as lye or caustic acid (I have found that liquid drain cleaner works better than gel cleaners)
Other metals to test (optional)
