The lives of iron
Iron is an element used and reused by humans for millennia and has many lives. To learn both the life of iron and the life with iron we will visit a steel mill where hundreds of tons of scrap are recycled every day, by melting to produce steel. We also will go into a mine to discover the first life of iron, in mineral state. We will know a sculptor who gives life to the iron. Discover that it is a vital element for human life and respiration, due to its tendency to react with oxygen and oxidize. Finally, we will understand the link between iron deficiency and anemia, and we will cook a menu rich in iron to maintain nutritional balance.
