7th grade copper electroplating

Hi- I am a 7 th grader and I wanted to do an experiment with electro plating copper onto steel. How would I go about doing this? I don't really have any experience. What do I need? How long will it take? Is it fairly easy?

Thank You,

Letter 4188 is probably your best starting point, Mike. Then follow the links to as much info as you need. Good luck.
