Metals of Industry -- from space flight to dental fillings; the most valuable metals to all of us.

They found that these new, hard materials were stronger and more durable than the rock, bone and clay used up to that point. This study set presents a 10-piece collection of the most important metals, in ores, used by the people of the world. Colorful, unique, and amazing to students to see what cars, planes and skyscrapers come from.
