Science of Technology

Nature gives us some metals in their native form. Unlike rocks, they can be molded instead of crushed. We complete a Cookie Mining activity to show the difference between native metals and non-native metals. Non-native metals have to be transformed from their native form as rocks. A rock that contain a significant amount of valuable metals are known as an Ore. Ores do not act like metals, but metal atoms can be released from ores under the right conditions.
