Glass is a unique substance

with many purposes.


It is hard to the touch, but it is

not actually a solid.

Humans have used

metals, a large

family of chemical

elements,

for thousand of

years.


Some metals are

aluminium, copper,

iron, tin, gold,

lead, silver, zinc,

titanium and

uranium.



Like food and shelter, clothing is a basic human need.


Clothing keeps the body warm and protects it from harm.
