   The way we did it in school chemistry was to put the nail in the water,    
   boil the water and seal the test tube with beeswax.   
      
   The control was a nail dropped in tap water and not sealed   
      
   A pretty definitive experiment. My school didn't teach science, it    
   reproduced every one of the most significant experiments of the last 400    
   years if it was practicable. Science was never taught as 'true' It was    
   taught as 'what people thought after doing this experiment'
