    This document outlines an experiment to investigate the corrosion of different metals under acidic and basic conditions. The objectives are to examine how various environments affect rusting, and to compare corrosion rates of metals. The experiment will immerse samples of copper, aluminum, and iron in vinegar (acidic) and bleach (basic) solutions for one week, then compare the results to see which conditions favor more corrosion and which metal corrodes most readily. Safety precautions like gloves and proper disposal of materials are noted.
