NUTS & BOLTS & NAILS & SCREWS

Iron is the mineral used in nuts, bolts, nails, and screws. Iron is used because it is strong, hard, and rigid. ZInc is sometimes coated on the iron to keep it from rusting.

CAR

Cars are made from iron because of its strength and hardness. Sometimes chromium is coated over the iron to keep it from rusting.

BIKE

Many minerals are used to make a bike--from sulfur, zinc, and iodine in the rubber tires--to steel, aluminum, and titanium in the handle bars.

FLOWER POTS

Flower pots are made from clay minerals because of their ability to be shaped when they're wet.
