WHAT IS METAL? A metal is a chemical element that is a good conductor of both electricity and heat. Metals are malleable and ductile and have lustrous appearance. They have moderate to high physical constants and high tensile strength. Metals are further divided into two main groups - ferrous and non ferrous metals. TYPES OF METAL • FERROUS METAL These are metals which contain iron. They may have small amounts of other metals or other elements added‚ to give the required properties

Germination in plants is the process in which dormant seed begins to grow and sprout under certain growing conditions. The English pea‚ also known as the garden pea‚ is a member of the legume family and is known to grow roughly three to four inches long. Research shows that it only takes approximately 1 week for the seed to start to germinate. There are many things that can affect‚ the growth of the pea seed such as; temperature‚ moisture‚ planting depth and sunlight. The pea grows best in temperatures

Introduction Gravity is a force that pulls all objects on Earth to its surface at a rate of 9.8m/sec. Gravity is an acceleration of a free falling object (Encyclopedia Britannica‚ 2014). Gravitational potential energy (Egp) is a concept from the law of gravity. As an object is positioned with a gravitational field‚ the object can store energy which is called gravitational potential energy (Physicsclassroom.com‚ 2014). As the object begins movement or work the energy transfers into kinetic energy

Metals & Non-Metals Metals: Good conductors of heat and electricity. Have shining luster. Malleable (this means that they can be hammered or distorted). Ductile (this means that they can be drawn into wires). Most have high melting and boiling points. Are sonorous (give out sound when beaten). Usually solid at room temperature. An exception to this is mercury‚ which is liquid in nature. Examples: Aluminum‚ Gold‚ Copper‚ Silver‚ Sodium‚ Potassium‚ Mercury. Corrode or oxidize in

Salt Pollution As awareness for pollution increases‚ other forms of pollution are defined. Almost everyone knows about toxic waste and carbon dioxide pollution‚ but not many people have heard of salt pollution. Salt pollution has been on the increase since the evolution of the automobile. With more pressure on government agencies to keep the highway clear and safe‚ an increase in the use of salt has developed. It is important to understand why salt is used and how it work as well as the environmental
