At the end of this activity, students should be able to:
– mention the most important chemical elements which make up the Earth's crust
– give the names of minerals that contain iron, aluminium, titanium and copper and write their chemical formulae
– predict, on the basis of the reactivity series of the metals, whether a given metal can displace another metal from its compounds
– discuss the methods for metal extraction from ores.
