Today, metals are encountered everywhere and is useful for many things. Iron is a strong element that is used to build structures like bridges for example. Steel is made by iron and is even stronger than iron. Steel is used much of our building today, but it can be found in knives, kitchen ware, or even weapons like swords. Although, Iron and steel may get rusted when wet, so it must be protected by a layer of paint. Copper is another element used. It is easy to bend, so it can be used for many items that may take different types of shapes. For example, it may become a water pipe of wire for a light bulb. Another type of metal is aluminium. Lead is a very heavy metal, but it is also very soft. Today is it used for plant troughs possibly and used to be used for water pipes until it was found poisonous.
The website was very informative and relate able. I liked the point where it gave me real world examples, but the website or info itself was very simplistic. This may be a good or bad thing, but I think it was an ok source for information. This website may open or give knowledge to people who know little to none about metals.
