Letter 40013 School Electroplating Project Didn't Work [Iowa]  March 24, 2006 We are doing a science project for our 9th grade project. It's on electroplating and we used a penny and a dime and it didn't work. what are we doing wrong? Also we were wondering if you could post a picture of what the experiment would look like after it's been plated. Thank you for your help. Erin B.
