Chemistry aces use an electrochemical cell to anodize a strip of aluminum. They apply an organic dye to it. In a practical application, they design a piece of jewelry out of the anodized metal and describe the process. Thorough notes prepare you to conduct the awesome activity with your learners, and a lab sheet keeps them on task.
