lives. ores are naturally occurring rocks that provide
an economic starting point for the manufacture of
metals. iron ore is used to make iron and steel.
copper can be easily extracted but copper rich ores
are becoming scarce. aluminium and titanium are
useful metals but are expensive to produce.
Objectives: learn about how we get metals from
ores, learn how iron and steel are made/learn how
we make metals more useful to us, learn about how
science can make recycling easier/learn how we can
evaluate our use of metals for structural and smart
materials.
