Metals mixed together — Smiths · The Makers

In the invented Anvil Hill smithy, smith Joana keeps jars of metals and alloys. An alloy is a metal mixed with other elements. Which sentences are true?

Your task

Is each sentence true or false?

Mixing metals can make them stronger, harder or better at resisting rust. Steel is iron with a little carbon. Stainless steel also has chromium. Bronze is copper and tin; brass is copper and zinc.
Invented guild stories to learn from. Never try fire, hot metal, glass, blades or power tools on your own: crafts like these are learned with a trained adult.
Every craft came from many people in many places. Nothing about you is collected.

Making it well — You put the steps in a sensible order and used the right tools.
Care for people & planet — You kept people safe and used materials wisely.

In real life

Stainless steel needs at least about 10.5% chromium, which forms a thin invisible layer that protects it from rust. Euro coins of 10, 20 and 50 cents are 'Nordic gold', an alloy mostly of copper.

The guild stories are invented, to learn from. Fire, heat, blades and tools are only for trained adults: learn these crafts with a trained adult, never at home. Nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
