Classifying

This is a type of classification where items are grouped based on their shared characteristics.

Ferrous Metals

Metals primarily composed of iron, often with added carbon to increase strength.

Non-ferrous Metals

Metals that do not contain iron.

Parallel Increase

Study Notes

Metal Classification

  • Metals are categorized into ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
  • Ferrous metals primarily consist of iron, and are often alloyed with carbon to enhance strength.
  • Variations in carbon content significantly impact the properties of ferrous metals, particularly steel.
  • Steel grades (low/mild, medium, high-carbon) are differentiated by carbon content, influencing hardness.
  • Non-ferrous metals include those found in abundance (zinc, aluminum, copper, lead, tin, nickel) and those found in smaller quantities (cadmium, chromium, platinum, mercury, gold, silver).

Metal Properties and Uses

  • Carbon content directly affects steel's hardness and strength.
  • Different metals and alloys exhibit diverse characteristics.
  • Metal properties determine their suitability for various applications.

Exercises - Diagram Completion

  • A diagram is provided requiring the categorization of metals as either found in large or small amounts.

Exercises - Comparative Adjectives

  • The exercise requires students to provide comparative forms of adjectives.
  • Examples of comparative adjectives are included (e.g., high – higher).

Classification of Materials (Additional Information)

  • Geometrical shapes can be categorized (e.g. triangle).
  • Matter can be solids, liquids, or gases.
  • Tools are categorized as hand tools or machine tools.
  • Metals are categorized as ferrous and non-ferrous.
  • Specific examples of materials and tools are provided (e.g., hammers, copper, refrigerators, geometrical shapes, etc.).
