Etching and Plating
Metals have been used to make decorations since ancient times. But what metallic accessories can we create with the help of chemical transformations? The “Etching and Plating” set by MEL Science will give you a clue! Treat iron plates with electricity or copper sulfate solution, arrange “copper battles” between metallic copper and copper ions, and watch as metals precipitate and dissolve right in front of you!
