Is it possible to make graphite oxide in aqueous solution in a lab using no expensive / manufacturing equipment?

Seems like it:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite_oxide#History_and_preparation  You can at least try, at the High School level, and see what you get.  Since you posted this first in the High School sub-forum, you might get credit for trying, if the teacher thinks yo can work safely enough.

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

The wikipedia page only shows the basic ingredients, and the first method shown is too dangerous. Any detailed instructions to make it?
