Chemistry and pennies.

Still catching up on June/July's project spectrum colors, including "metallic."

First, we experimented with cleaning pennies, making them verdigris, "turning silver into gold" by putting iron nails and screws into the salt/vinegar cleaning solution.

Next, we started gluing them onto an old bowling ball to be used as a garden ornament.
