Definition: (heading) Chemical elements or alloys, and the mines where their ores come from.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look!
You’ve got your dictionaries out, that’s a wonderful start,
To understanding words, right from the very heart.
The dictionary tells us, clear as can be,
That “metal” has quite a scope for you and me!
It starts with
elements
, shiny and bright,
Like gold and silver, gleaming in the light.
They're building blocks of everything we see,
From stars above to you and me!
But wait, there’s more – it’s not just on its own,
Metals are often mixed, a clever tone!
We call them
alloys
, a mixture true,
Like steel, a blend for tasks we do.
And last but not least, the dictionary shows,
The places where these treasures grow!
Mines
they are – dark and deep below,
Where metal ores patiently grow.
So "metal" means elements, alloys too,
And the mines that bring them to us anew!
Do you have any questions? Let’s discuss with glee,
Now who can tell me what a metal
does
for thee?
