Key Questions:

1. How are ceramic objects made?
   • Ceramic materials are solids made by baking a starting material in a very hot oven or kiln.
2. Give two examples of a ceramic material.
   • Ceramic materials include: Pottery; Bricks; Glass; Cement; Diamond
3. Ceramic materials are hard,what does this mean?
   • Ceramic materials are hard, because they are not easy to scratch /
4. How are ceramics used to be at their strongest?
   • Ceramic materials are strong under compression (being squashed).
5. Ceramics are brittle. What does this mean?
   • Ceramics are brittle, because they can not absorb Energy quickly or bend without breaking
6. How are metals used to be at their strongest?
   • Metals are in tension (being stretched).
7. Metals are Sonorous. What does this mean?
   • Metals are Sonorous because they make a ringing sound when struck.
8. Metals are malleable. What does this mean?
   • Metals are malleable because they can be hammered into shape.
9. Metals are ductile. What does this mean?
   • Metals are ductile because they can be drawn (stretched) into a tread.
10. Metals are lustrous. What does this mean?
    • Metals are lustrous because they are shiny.
11. Metals are good conductor. What does this mean?
    • Metals are good conductor because they allow the flow of heat and/or electricity through it.
12. What are the general properties of ceramics?
    • Ceramics have High melting points (so they're heat resistant). Great hardness and strength, Considerable durability (they're long-lasting and hard-wearing) and Low electrical and thermal conductivity (they're good insulators).
