used by builders as plaster
and by nurses for setting

equipment such as wiring and
motors. This is because it
conducts both heat and
electricity very well, and can
be drawn into wires.
IRON

➤ Iron is an essential element for all

forms of life and is non-toxic.
➤ The average human contains
about 4 grams of iron.
➤ A lot of this is in haemoglobin, in
the blood. Haemoglobin carries
oxygen from our lungs to the cells,
where it is needed for tissue
respiration.
➤ Humans need 10–18 milligrams of
iron each day.
➤ A lack of iron will cause anaemia

molasses, brewer’s yeast, cocoa
and liquorice contain a lot of iron.
IRON
➤ Iron is the most important metal, 90% of metal on earth today
is iron.
➤ Most iron is used to manufacture steel with different properties
and uses.Its toughness, resistance to harsh conditions and
strength make is suitable for hard tasks.
➤ Many cooking and kitchen ware and products are made of
stainless steel which is made from iron. This form of iron does
not get rust but is also strong and durable.
➤ Heavy machines like cranes, road rollers, bore machines are
made of iron to a large extent. Even transfer chains, tumblers,
mixers etc. in factories are made of iron.
