Metals Theyre Everywhere! A MAST Module Materials Science and Technology 1995 Acknowledgements The authors would like to thank the following people for their advice and support in the development of this module: Dr. Jennifer Lewis Director of the Materials Science Workshop Dr. James Adams Assistant Director Dr. Bob Bohl University of Illinois Advisor Authors: David Duncklee Waukon High School, Waukon, IA James Gibson Pinckneyville Community High School, Pinckneyville, IL Bernard Hermanson Sumner Community High School, Sumner, IA Carolyn Lucas Yorktown High School, Yorktown, IN Ron Morrison Paxton-Buckley-Loda High School, Paxton, IL Patricia B.

Teachers are urged to use one, some, or all of the MAST modules. Some teachers may wish to implement this module in its entirety as a subject unit in a course. Others may wish to utilize only part of the module, perhaps a laboratory experiment. We encourage teachers to use these materials in their classrooms and to contact the workshop with any assessments, comments, or suggestions they may have. This is one in a series of MAST modules developed and revised during the Materials Technology Workshop held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign during 1993-95. A combination of university professors, high school science teachers, and undergraduates worked together to create and revise this module over a three year period. Financial support for the Materials Technology Workshop was provided primarily by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Education and Human Resource Directorate (Grant #ESI 92-53386). Other contributors include the NSF Center for Advanced Cement Based Materials, the Dow Chemic
