This term we have been learning about Metallurgy and the different properties of different metals and alloys. Here's a list of different metals, Gold, Silver, Iron, Steel, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Aluminium, Tin, Nickel etc. There are also many varieties of Alloys such as, Stainless Steel, Nickel Alloys, Bronze Alloys, Brass, Sterling Silver, Karat Gold etc. The most common metal for wires is Copper (Cu) because of its malleable and conductive build. Copper is conductive because it conducts the electricity through the wires.

Hi Savannah
ReplyDeleteWell done on writing your science blog post, exceptional work on your spelling! Copper is a fascinating metal to me, it can be shiny and highly polished but then it can also have that beautiful blue tinge to it when it gets near water. Apparently, there is a world shortage of copper, that's likely the case for lots of metals. Where you doing experiments involving metals? What if anything surprised you from them?
