Why iron rusts — Smiths · The Makers
The Emberhollow gate has orange flakes on it. Apprentice Dario wants to know where rust comes from and how to stop it. Which sentences are true?
Your task
Is each sentence true or false?
- Rust forms when iron meets water and oxygen from the air together. Salt speeds it up. Paint, oil or another metal coating keeps water and air away from the iron.
- 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.
Score
- Craft knowledge — You understood how this craft works.
- 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 contains chromium, which forms a very thin protective layer on the surface. That is why many cutlery sets and sinks stay shiny.

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.
