Types of metals - Part 2 - Facts on Copper for kids
<html>
<h3>Copper has been around since the Ancient times and have many uses. It can be used to make coins or even in electrical appliances. &nbsp;Their alloys are bronze and brass. &nbsp;Do you remember what an alloy is? &nbsp;That is right, if metals are 'mixed' together to form a new type of metal.</h3>
<blockquote>The word copper and its symbol Cu come from the Latin word for Cyprus "Cuprum", where the Ancient Romans mined much of their copper.&nbsp;</blockquote>

<p>If you have pure copper, it will have a reddish gold colour, but if it is exposed to air, it will turn a darker brown and if you leave it in water and air for a while, it will turn green. &nbsp;This is called 'verdigris'.</p>
<p>Copper has been around for more than 10 000 years and the only metals used before copper were gold and iron.</p>
<p>Copper is a nutrient that is found in all living organisms and just as an iron deficiency (too little) can make you feel sick, so can a deficiency of copper.</p>
<blockquote>Foods rich in copper include oysters, beef, nuts, cocoa, black pepper, lobster, sunflower seeds, green olives, avocados, and wheat.&nbsp;</blockquote>

<p>Copper is used in creating different alloys that can be used by humans - brass is formed from copper and zinc, bronze is copper and tin and cupronickel is a combination of copper and nickel.</p>
<p>Many countries use copper in their coins and it is also found in electrical wiring, washing machines and cooking ware, as well as in TVs and radios.</p>

<p>More than 81 000 kg of copper were used to build the Statue of Liberty.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>No bacteria will grow on copper, which means it is anti bacterial, it is therefore a good idea to use copper door knobs in public places so that germs will not be spread. &nbsp;Another good thing about copper is that it can be recycled and therefore used over and over,</h3>
<h3>There is a lot of copper on Earth and this is a resource that will not easily get used up.</h3>
