The activities are set out thus: tasks requiring passive language knowledge (reading and listening) come first, followed by active knowledge activities (speaking, writing). This way, students gain confidence as they work through the unit. • Practicals to do in the workshop and suggested and step-by-step projects (“Design and build”). • Computer-guided practicals (“In the computer room”). This is all done using information and communication technology (ICT) as the learning tool for the full range of topics covered in Technologies. The book is based on CLIL methodology and adheres to the following guidelines: • Student-centred learning and tasks to encourage students to get involved through familiar examples and situations that reflect real life. • Flexible teaching to ensure that students have understood the content and context through listening and reading comprehension tasks. • Interactive and autonomous learning through pair work and group activities that require students to negotiate meanings, discover things for themselves and investigate. • Task-based work in workshop practicals at the end of each topic (green section), at the end of the book (projects), and in all computing activities (pink section). • Use of multiple resources, indicated by icons for easy reference. The meaning of each icon as shown in the table below. Icons used in book activities Listening included on the virtual CD Speaking Writing Class workshop Computer room Internet connection required Cover page and “Look, learn and experiment” Cover page. Includes a representative picture of the unit, a short list of the theory contents (“Learn” section) and a brief introductory text with a listening option for the first activity on the following page. 4 b. What are the three most important words in the text? Use a dictionary to find out their meaning. c. What are the common characteristics of all metals? Find out what you already know by answering these questions in your notebook: 1. Ê Look around you and try to find some metal objects. Write the names of five of these objects in your notebook. Are they all made from the same metal? 2. Ê Indicate which of the following materials are metals and which are not: tin can, yoghurt pot, drinks can, Tetra Brik, spoon, shower gel bottle, toothpaste tube. • This is followed by suggested activities to do in the classroom or at home. • Read and listen to the text on the previous page and then answer these questions in your notebook: a. Indicate whether the following statements are true or false: • All metals have similar characteristics. • Metals do not rust when they come into contact with moisture. • Metals are warm to the touch. 1.

They are not all the same and we do not use them all for the same purpose, but they all have similar characteristics: they tend to be cold to the touch, they generally shine and most of them rust when they come into contact with moisture. In this unit, we will look at the special characteristics of metals that allow us to differentiate between them. We will also learn how to work with them in the workshop. 74 Technologies I - Editorial Donostiarra 3. Ê Look for different objects in the workshop: plastic boxes, strips of wood, bottle caps, pieces of material, rubber, aluminium foil, etc. Study them closely and answer the following questions in your notebook: • Which ones are colder? • Which ones are heavier? • When you try to cut them, which ones are harder to cut? What happens when you try to bend them? • Which ones can stretch? Most likely, the ones you thought were colder, heavier and harder to shape (the ones that were more difficult to work with) are metals. Now take a magnet and try to attract the objects you think are metals. Does the magnet attract all of the metals? 4. Ê With a partner, find two metal tools and a piece of cord about 1 metre long in the workshop. Tie one of the tools to the middle of the cord as shown in the photograph. While you hold the cord, your partner has to use the other tool to hit the one tied to the cord. Listen to the sound it makes. What do you notice? As you can see, metals are excellent conductors of sound. 5. 6. Ê Open exercise Unit04 0A Metals in Unit 4 of the CD and complete the exercise on types of metals. Ê Do an online search for information on how metals are recycled. Which container do we need to put them in for recycling? Do you know what percentage of metals can be recycled? Save the information you find in a text document with the name Unit04_0B_namesurname. Technologies I - Editorial Donostiarra 75 The last part of this section contains short multimedia practicals to do with the CD and online research activities. Technologies I - Editorial Donostiarra INICIALES-ENG.indd 3 3 20/04/2013 0:42:57 “Learn” This section is marked in blue. It contains theoretical aspects of the topic, presented clearly and concisely. 4 Learn Metallic materials have been around since ancient times. For enquiring minds! Key concepts and definitions are displayed inside a pink box for easy reference. At the end of each page or double spread, students will find a box with exercises to check that they have understood the concepts explained in this section. These exercises are marked with one, two or three stars, according to their difficulty; some also have listening, speaking or writing icons. Generally every two pages or so, there is a keywords box containing important terms and their definitions (the listening activity with these words can be found on the virtual CD). An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals, or of a metal and non-metallic components (phosphorus, carbon, silicon, etc.). The product we obtain from the mixture may have a property that the original components did not have. This makes alloys very useful. The first alloy created by humans was bronze (copper and tin), which is harder and stronger than its components. Pause and reflect! Do not confuse hardness with toughness. Diamond is a very hard mineral, because it cannot be scratched. However, it is not very tough because we can grind it easily. Look at the picture below: the steel hammer (a very tough, but softer material) smashes the diamond (very hard, but brittle) into pieces. 4 Technical materials: metals Technical materials: metals 1. Metallic materials Learn 5 • They are very good conductors of electric current, so they have lots of applications in electricity and electronics. They are not usually used in their pure state. Instead, they are alloyed with other metals or non-metallic elements (like carbon). The earth’s crust contains minerals, and metals are a type of these minerals. To obtain them, we need to mine them. The part of the mineral that we use to obtain metal is called ore. The rest of the mineral is called gangue. • Some have a magnetic behaviour and can attract other metals. Other properties Metallurgy is the name given to the techniques used to obtain metals from the mineral ore and process them. • Many rust easily. Main properties of metals • They are solid at room temperature (except for mercury). There are many types of metals, but they all have some common properties: • They are heavy and dense. Mechanical properties These properties tell us how metals behave when external loads are applied to them. • They are hard: they do not scratch and cannot be easily pierced. • Some are malleable: we can press the metal into thin sheets and it will not break. For example, aluminium. 5 Electrical and magnetic properties These properties tell us how metals behave with electricity and magnetism. Rusted iron. Can you see the difference? The metal plates in the foreground are not completely rusted but the sections behind them are. • They are sound conductors. Stock forms of metal Metals for industrial use are usually sold as: • Plates of different thicknesses (the thinner ones are called sheets). • Sections: lengths of metal whose section is shaped like a U, square, circle, triangle, etc. • Ingots: blocks obtained by pouring liquid metal into a mould. Classifying metals • Some are ductile: we can stretch the metal into wires (like the strands we find in cables). For example, copper. • They are tough: they are very resistant to breaking when they are hit (the opposite of tough is brittle). Thermal properties These properties tell us how metals behave when heated. • They are very good conductors of heat. Metals are used in a lot of cookware where it is important to transmit heat to cook the food. • They expand when the temperature rises and contract when it falls. • Some metals can easily be soldered to other metals or to parts of the same metal. The most widely used metal today is iron. This is because it is so common and easily obtained. Metals that contain mainly iron are called ferrous metals. Metals that do not have iron in their composition are called non-ferrous metals. EXERCISES 3. ÊÊ Listen to the recording on the Metal Ages and write down the missing word or words in your notebook: About (...) years ago, humans began to use metal to make objects. The big revolution came with the discovery of (...), an alloy of (...) and tin. In 1200 BC, (...) was discovered. This was a stronger and (...) metal than bronze and very common in nature. 4. ÊÊ Get into small groups and find any two metal objects in the part of the room where you are. Study them carefully and describe them to a classmate, explaining what their mechanical, thermal and electrical properties are. 5. ÊÊ Briefly explain the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Give an example of each group. EXERCISES 1. Ê Write down five general properties of metals in your notebook. 2. Ê What are alloys? Can you name any? Which? 76 KEYWORDS Make sure you understand these words before moving on! • Hardness: resistance of a material to being scratched. • Toughness: resistance of a material to breaking when hit. • Malleability: property of some metals that allows them to be pressed or rolled into a sheet or plate. • Ductility: property of some metals that allows them to be stretched into a wire. Technologies I - Editorial Donostiarra Technologies I - Editorial Donostiarra 77 ”Review”, “Express yourself!” and “Activities” These sections are marked in orange. • The “Review” section contains a summary of the unit and covers the basic ideas looked at in the topic. 4 Technical materials: metals • The activities in this part of the book are designed to encourage students to process ideas and memorise key concepts. They are classified by difficulty here too (with one, two or three stars) and include listening, speaking and writing exercises. • The “Activities” section has two parts: Express yourself! KEYWORDS brass We have known about and used metals since ancient times but it is not easy to find them in their pure form. They are usually alloyed with other metals. conductor corrosion The metals group has some common properties: • The “Express Yourself!” section is designed to help students improve how they communicate in English. It includes important words that students have learned during the topic (keywords), forms of expression to help them talk and write about topic contents (language structures), fun expressions related to the contents (idiomatic expressions) and more general words that students may not be familiar with that have come up in the topic (vocabulary in use), all with definitions and examples of how they are used. ductility (noun), ductile (adjective) Mechanical properties They are hard and tough, and can be malleable and ductile. environmental impact Thermal properties They are very good conductors of heat; they expand and contract and can be soldered easily. ferrous metals hardness (noun), hard (adjective) Electrical and magnetic properties They are very good conductors of electricity. Some are magnetic. Other properties They rust easily, conduct sound and are solid at room temperature (except for mercury). malleability (noun), malleable (adjective) recycling shape, to According to their composition, metals can be classified as ferrous (If they contain mainly iron) and non-ferrous (if they do not contain iron). Ferrous metals are formed by iron and its alloys with carbon: Iron Contains less than 0.1% carbon. It is brittle and does not have many applications. Steel Iron with 0.1% to 2% carbon. It is tough and easy to work with. It is widely used. Cast iron Iron with 2% to 6.67% carbon. It is very hard but it is not as tough as steel. tinplate tool toughness (noun), tough (adjective) Copper LANGUAGE STRUCTURES “The main thermal properties of metals are conductivity and expansion.” 3. “Ferrous (or non ferrous) metals are those that contain (or do not contain) iron”. Tin It is easy to work with and melt. It is used as a filler metal for soft soldering. When it is alloyed with copper it is called bronze. 4. “Alloys are a combination (or mixture) of... Aluminium It is very light, highly resistant to corrosion, non-toxic and easy to shape. It has many applications. 5. “Depending on the percentage of carbon...” Zinc It is malleable, ductile and very resistant to corrosion. It is mainly used to protect other metals from rust. When it is alloyed with copper it is called brass.
