Introduce emerging engineers to the process of metal plating. This resource provides background reading on chemical engineering, plating, and corrosion. It concludes with a copper plating activity. The standards alignment list includes grades three through five Next Generation Science Standards, but the age levels in the teachers notes do not agree. Upper-elementary learners may be able to handle the activity, but the chemistry concepts are likely to be beyond them.
