Lost the results of my daughters science experiment

We have lost the results of my daughters science exp. There were 10 jars and in each jar were a nail and either water vinegar or salt or a combination. We have more details but before I type all that inf. can anyone help? We had daily observations for 10 days and can recall some of the info.

Darcie, it's a sad situation that the dog ate her homework, or whatever happened. Still, you're not supposed to fudge experimental results regardless of justification.

But there is little doubt that salt and vinegar is highly corrosive, and salt water is less so, and fresh water is less so.
