A scriber is used to make sharp‚ clearly defined lines on metal. An Engineers Square consists of a metal blade set at 90 degrees to a solid metal block (the stock). Practical uses of an engineer square is a guide for a scriber when marking out lines at right-angles to the edge of the work and a guide to setting up or checking work to see if it’s squared

without metal. The metals we use in our houses are mostly for keeping them sturdy. Though there is one problem we have when it comes to metals. That problem is that they rust. Metals rust when they are in contact with oxygen‚ and water. They rust much faster when they are in contact with salt water‚ and acid rain. We chose to see what would happen to various metals when they contacted with salt water. When the electrons move around in the salt water‚ it causes the metals to rust. The metals we chose

Density of Metals Lab 1. Purpose The purpose of this lab was answered in 4 questions‚ and their answers are here shown. The density of the metals we used were 5g/cm3. The density of a metal piece does not depend on its size‚ it depends on the total mass and total volume. The most accurate way of determining density is dividing mass by volume. You can’t identify metals by their density. It can help you narrow the options down‚ but you can’t identify a metal by using only its density. 2. Question
