Metals

Paste one fact or one picture here!!

Metals are excellent conductors of both heat and electricity. In general, conductivity increases with decreasing temperature, so that, at absolute zero, conductivity is infinite; in other words, metals become superconductors. by shania

Some Facts about Metals!
 * Metals are usually solid, good conductors of electricity and heat, shiny when clean, strong and malleable (meaning they can be bent and shaped).
 * Gold is shiny and doesn’t corrode, this means it is a great metal for making jewelry.
 * The chemical symbol used for silver is Ag, this comes from the Latin word for silver, argentum.


 * While aluminum is the most common metal found in the Earth's crust, the most common metal found on Earth is iron, mostly because it makes up such a large part of the Earth's core.
 * Copper is a good conductor of electricity and is often used for making wires.
 * At room temperature, mercury is the only metal that is in liquid form. BY LILY BOESSLER!!:)

PAIGE---> FACT ONE: Alkali metals such as sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium are extremely reactive elements, just putting them in water can result in an explosion! They are carefully stored in oil to prevent this happening. FACT TWO: Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Preist, Rush and Disturbed are not they kind of metals miss Gravey is going for......LOL! Couldnt help myself....

Bronze was the best material to make weapons such as spears, swords and shields (in the bronze age obviously) By Eleanor

Nadya: Some metals, including copper, tin, iron, lead, gold, silver, and mercury, were known to the ancients; copper is probably the oldest known metal. Iron is an element that has been known in its pure form for at least 5,000 years. The name "iron" comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "iron" and Scandinavian "iarn" for the metal.

Here is a picture of a few different metals...... By Georgie :)
