Fast Rust Task

In room 1 with Mr Wiseman we've been learning about rust do you how rust grows, well you can read what I've been learning in Mr Wiseman's room. Mr Wiseman had put questions so that we could answer them. 


Fast Rust Task
Rust

Walt: Synthesise information from multiple sources.   

Task
Work on this Doc together with a partner.

What 3 ingredients are needed for rust to occur.
Water
Metal
Oxygen from air


Write a brief paragraph explaining the rusting process (why rusting occurs)
The Oxygen from the air will mix with the water, then the nail will react will the oxygen mixed with water.
After the iron oxide reacts with water. After that finish it will form a hydrated iron oxide. After all that process it will continue the process until all the iron has been eaten up.   


How could you prevent something from rusting?
You can stop the rusting process by covering the metal with paint so that when it rains the rust will only meet with the paint not the metal. The paint helps the metal because paint is a new layer that the rust can only  meet.


Write 3 sentences explaining something new you’ve learned from this reading.
I have learned about rust in this text (fast rust). Rust can be stop by any kind of paint, Why? Because the paint covers the metal and the rust will only relate with the paint not the metal.
Rust also has a fancy name called hydrated iron oxide. Rust is a common reaction that usually happens in metal it creates the fall colors and it just keeps on growing.
