Extraction of metals

This piece of work should be up to 2 pages long.

Remember to use diagrams and pictures where this is useful.

You need to cover the following points

Examples of ores

Why most metals are not found “native” (which are?)
How metals are extracted showing a range of methods to include both the smelting of iron ore (show a blast furnace and what happens) and the electrolysis of aluminium (keep to the general principles – don’t get bogged down in the chemistry)
When the metals were first identified (stick to ones we use in class – copper, iron, aluminium etc)
Uses of different metals.
