Provides an introduction to metals, including their physical properties, their place in the periodic table, their uses in everyday life, and how they react with other substances. Includes experiments.

Discusses metals as a material, including historical uses, current uses, mining and manufacturing, and recycling.

Including photographs of chemistry happening and boxes that contain examples of science at work, this book discusses the huge group of materials known as metals.

On the periodic table, three-quarters of all the elements are classified as one sort of metal or another. Divided into five sections, this program provides a thorough overview of metals: Metals in Our World (includes iron, lithium, magnesium, mercury, potassium, silver, sodium, uranium, zinc); Alkali Metals (history and properties of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium); Alkaline Earth Metals (history and properties of beryllium,...

Metal artists design and make artworks in metal, such as jewelry, steel towers, and wrought iron furniture.

Covers the current scientific understanding of the physics, chemistry, and geology of this important group of elements, including how they are synthesized in the universe, when and how they were discovered, and where they are found on Earth.

Simple text and photographs introduce learning readers to minerals and metals and how we mine for and use them in tools and electronics.

This book describes the properties of metals and how they react with other materials.

This book describes the properties of metals and explains that metals have high melting points and can be used to make objects that are put in very hot places.
