Put on gloves and goggles and carefully remove the penny using
forceps.
rinse the penny over the cup/beaker with the water bottle and place
on a paper towel
gently pour the remaining solution down the drain
plastic cup? throw it away (glass beaker - return it)
turn on the water and rinse the sink out with water
Any spills? Notify your instructor who will help clean them up with
baking soda.
Find the mass of the remaining metal/penny
Use this mass along with the original mass to form a conclusion
(revisit purpose statement).
If no penny is remaining, why do you think that is? What happened?
Work Time - Floating Penny Lab Write-Up (1 per group)
Create a 8.5x11 infographic (see examples) compairing and

chemical reaction/process responsible and background on the
following organisms based on your observations. Include photos and
drawings. Include your hypothesis.
Shells
Coral
2. Methods
Describe how we studied changes to calcifying organisms in this lab.
What steps did we take? What did you do in the lab?
3. Data
Include data, drawings and or photos of your shells and/or Coral for
both parts of the experiment. Data may include changes in mass,
color, texture and changes to the physical appearance of the shell
4. Conclusion (see option below)
Go to Marine Osteoporosis p. 4 EXTENSIONS/ RELATED CAREERS and choose
from #1-4 of the options given.
Are you feeling creative? Another option is to write your conclusion from the
perspective of 1 of the following groups.
A) calcifying organisms such as pteropods
B) non-calcifying photosynthetic organisms such as diatoms,
C) people of island nations (low CO2 output)
D) high CO2 output nations.
