Metals and Their Uses

Appreciate that metals are very useful in our everyday lives and used in a wide variety ofsituations.

Know that ores are naturally occurring rocks that provide an economic starting point for themanufacture of metals.

Know that iron ore is used to make iron and steel. Know that copper can be easily extracted but copper-rich ores are becoming scarce so new

methods of extracting copper are being developed to exploit low grade ores - those with lowconcentrations of copper

Know that aluminium and titanium are useful metals but are expensive to produce. Know that metals can be mixed together to make alloys to improve the metal's properties for a

particular purpose.

Students are expected to be able to use their skills, knowledge and understanding to ...

Consider and evaluate the social, economic and environmental impacts of exploiting metalores, of using metals and of recycling metals.

Know that metal ores are obtained by mining and that this may involve digging up andprocessing large amounts of rock.

Know and understand that obtaining, using and recycling metals is limited to the metalsnamed eg Fe, Cu, Al.

Be able to evaluate the benefits, drawbacks and risks of using metals as structural materials

Know and understand the uses and properties of metals and alloys is limited to thosespecified in the subject content ie Fe, Cu, Al and Ti.
