Thank you for the wonderful tips. I was excited to find the penny activity and tried it on my own. I did not think vinegar alone really cleaned the penny so did some research and found the following page: http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/docs/cleaningcopper.html. In short the page showed that vinegar alone does not clean pennies but the combination of salt and vinegar together does a great job. I tried it with awesome results! For my lesson I compared the vinegar to water or the act of being baptism and salt to the priesthood. Both are necessary to be baptized and niether alone works to clean the penny. Again thanks for this idea. I am sure my visual learners will remember this activity.

We tried this today–with amazing success! Our eight year olds loved putting pennies in vinegar. We let them hold their own individual cups, which kept their hands busy so they weren’t poking each other. Even the child who is autistic was able to do it, and he paid attention for the entire lesson–a rarity.
I wonder what the ward who uses the room after us will make of the lingering science fair smell from the vinegar…
Thanks so much for posting your ideas! One boy said this was the best lesson he’s ever had! We’re looking forward to next week’s sock throw.
