In this episode of Let's Learn GA!, we investigate why something made of copper--like a penny or the Statue of Liberty--can change color from reddish brown to green.
Materials needed for this lesson include:
- 2 pennies (must look similar to each other)

English Arts
Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly.
Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development and organization are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. (Grade specific expectations for writing types are defined in Standards 1–3
above.)
Acquire and use accurately grade-appropriate general academic and domain-specific vocabulary, including words and phrases that signal contrast, addition, and other logical relationships (e.g., however, although, nevertheless, similarly, moreover, in addition).
Science
Plan and carry out an investigation to determine if a chemical change occurred based on observable evidence (color, gas, temperature change, odor, new substance produced).
