Hands On Activity Simple Rusting Experiment What you need: Two pieces of steel wool Two pie pans Two glass cups or beakers Some water Two pieces of clay or putty What will you do? Fill the pie pan with water until it is half full. Stick the putty to one side of the steel wool, and attach the steel wool to the bottom of the glass. Place the glass, upside down, into the pie pan. Leave this to sit overnight and observe any changes during the next few days. Repeat the same procedure with the second set of materials, only this time, fill the pie pan with more water. Let the second set sit overnight as well. For the Teacher: Leave a piece of steel wool in a beaker filled with water, completely submerged overnight while the students are leaving their experiments. Next to the beaker, leave a dry piece of steel wool. Ask the students why neither of the two that you prepared rusted, when all of their steel wool did. This should lead the students down the road to the triad of water, oxygen, and iron.
