BUILDING BACKGROUND/ CONNECTION TO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: The learners have been expose to this knowledge in the previous term

CONTENT:

QUESTION: Discuss the term ceramics and state in uses

Answer: Ceramics are non-metallic, inorganic materials, often created from clay, silicates, or other minerals.

Uses:

1. Tableware: plates, bowls, cups, utensils
2. Decorative items: vases, figurines, sculptures
3. Electrical insulators: spark plugs, insulators, substrates
4. Refractories: furnace components, crucibles, heat shields
5. Construction: tiles, bricks, concrete
6. Medical implants: dental, orthopedic, and surgical devices
7. Aerospace: heat shields, thermal protection systems
8. Automotive: catalysts, exhaust system components
9. Filtration: water, air, and chemical processing
10. Artistic expressions: pottery, sculpture, jewelry

Glass:

Glass is an amorphous, non-crystalline solid, often made from silicon dioxide (sand).

Uses:

1. Packaging: bottles, jars, containers
2. Windows and doors
3. Mirrors and reflective surfaces
4. Fiber optics: communication, data transmission
5. Laboratory equipment: test tubes, beakers, flasks
6. Medical devices: syringes, vials, lenses
7. Automotive: windshields, headlights, taillights
8. Aerospace: cockpit windows, radar domes
9. Artistic expressions: stained glass, sculptures, jewelry
10. Solar panels and renewable energy systems
