1. Imagine this scenario
One morning you wake up, yawn, scratch yourself, and sit up. Wearily, you stumble out of bed. You go to your refrigerator for a glass of milk only to discover that there is no refrigerator and everything on the floor. "That's funny, "you think to yourself. When you try to brew a cup of coffee but here is no coffee maker just the container. Your gas stove and pots are missing, so it looks like there'll be no bacon and eggs this morning. As you sit down with your bowl of dry cereal, you glance out the window notice that patio chairs and gates are missing. You pick up your cordless phone to call the police and complain, but the phone is a shell . You begin to panic and you run out to the car. The car is missing just the head light lens, tail lights , rubbers and tyres in your drive way. You look at the light pole and notice that the power lines are gone. "What's going on?" you think to yourself.

answer : metal

3. Metals
Grade 8

4. What are metals?
Metals are opaque, lustrous elements that are good conductors of heat and electricity

5. Metals are used in
Transportation -- Cars, buses, trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes.
Aerospace -- Unmanned and manned rockets and the space shuttle.
Computers and other electronic devices that require conductors (TV, radio, stereo, calculators, security devices, etc.)
Communications including satellites that depend on a tough but light metal shell. .
Farming -- Tractors, combines, planters, etc.
Household conveniences -- Ovens, dish and clothes washers, vacuum cleaners, blenders, pumps, lawn mowers and trimmers, plumbing, water heaters, heating/cooling, etc.

6. Metals are used in
Food processing and preservation -- Microwave and conventional ovens and refrigerators and freezers.
Construction -- Nails in conventional lumber construction and structural steel in other buildings.
Biomedical applications -- As artificial replacement for joints and other prostheses.
Electrical power production and distribution -- Boilers, turbines, generators, transformers, power lines,

7. Types of metal Metals can be divided in to two groups. They are:
1. ferrous metals
2. Non ferrous metals

8. What is the difference between the two type of metals?
1.Ferrous metals are metals that contain chiefly iron with small proportions of other metals.
2 Non-ferrous metals are metals that contain little or no iron.

Answers : Alloys

10. What are alloys?
Alloys are metal that are composed of two or more metals
They can be ferrous metals or non-ferrous metals

11. Examples of ferrous metals
Wrought iron
Cast Iron

12. Examples of ferrous metals
Mild steel
Stainless steel

13. Examples of Non-Ferrous metals
Aluminium
Copper

14. Examples of non ferrous metals
Zinc
Lead

15. Examples of non-ferrous metals
Tin

16. Examples of Alloys Brass [copper-zinc] Bronze [copper-tin]
Steel [iron –carbon]
Solder iron [lead-tin]

17. Examples of alloys
Brass (copper & zinc)
Bronze (copper & tin)

18. Examples of Alloys
Steel (carbon & iron)

19. Properties of metals
Malleability - can be hammered and pressed into shape
Ductility - can be drawn into fine wire
Elasticity - regains its shape after being deformed
Hardness - resists being scratched or cut
Brittleness - extremely hard and therefore breaks easily
Conductivity - ability to conduct heat or electricity
