Station 3: How it's made

Directions: For this station you will be working as a team to learn how materials are made.  Choose a material that you want to learn about, make sure at least one person is learning about each of the different types of materials.  Use Showbie to take notes on the process of how each material is made.  

 

*Remember: Our client wants to use materials that have a low impact on the environment.  As you are watching the videos, pay close attention and think about how making each material would effect the environment.

How is concrete made?

How is steel made? (2 videos)

How is wood made?

Steel is made from something called iron ore.  This video shows how we get iron ore.  Notice the Minnesota Twins shirt that the guy is wearing?  The mine in this video is in northern Minnesota.

This video focuses on how iron ore is turned into steel that we can use.
