In conjunction with the 2019 National Chemistry week theme “Marvelous Metals,” this tutorial will present several ways in which teachers and professors can incorporate metals chemistry in their classrooms. The presentation will include how to safely use several low melting alloys in the classroom, an understanding of alloys and mixtures, how intermolecular forces work, and phase changes. The presentation will also highlight an area where science and art meet – the production of art medals from low melting metals and alloys, and from easy-to-carve forms and materials.
