Answer:
Density, melting point. and magnetic properties
Explanation:
I can think of three ways.
1. Density
The density of Cu₂S is 5.6 g/cm³; that of CuS is 4.76 g/cm³.
It should be possible to distinguish these even with high school equipment.
2. Melting point
Cu₂S melts at 1130 °C (yellowish-red); CuS decomposes at 500 °C (faint red).
A Bunsen burner can easily reach these temperatures.
3. Magnetic properties
You can use a Gouy balance to measure the magnetic susceptibilities.
In Cu₂S the Cu⁺ ion has a d¹⁰ electron configuration, so all the electrons are paired and the solid is diamagnetic.
In CuS the Cu²⁺ ion has a d⁹ electron configuration, so all there is an unpaired electron and the solid is paramagnetic.
A sample of Cu₂S will be repelled by the magnetic field and show a decrease in weight.
A sample of CuS will be attracted by the magnetic field and show an increase in weight.
In the picture below, you can see the sample partially suspended between the poles of an electromagnet.

Explanation:
Phenolphthalein acts like a weak acid, so in aqueous solution, it has an acid form HIn, and the conjugate base In-, and the pH of it can be calculated by the Handerson-Halsebach equation:
pH = pKa + log[In-]/[HIn]
pKa = -logKa, and Ka is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation of the acid. [X] is the concentrantion of X. Thus,
i) pH = 4.9
4.9 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]
log[In-]/[HIn] = - 4.8
[In-]/[HIn] = 
[In-]/[HIn] = 1.58x10⁻⁵
ii) pH = 2.1
2.1 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]
log[In-]/[HIn] = -7.6
[In-]/[HIn] = 
[In-]/[HIn] = 2.51x10⁻⁸
iii) pH = 7.8
7.8 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]
log[In-]/[HIn] = -1.9
[In-]/[HIn] = 
[In-]/[HIn] = 0.0126
iv) pH = 11.5
11.5 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]
log[In-]/[HIn] = 1.8
[In-]/[HIn] = 
[In-]/[HIn] = 63.10
Salt (not table salt!) is formed when an acid reacts with a base. Salt is a compound. Water is also produced as a by-product of this reaction.
