  2. Stoneware pottery Facts – questions • Ceramic materials are in-organic (composed of minerals rather than living materials) • What does this mean? Earthenware Porcelain pottery Lesson objective – to be able to identify common clays and related products

  3.

  4. Looking on page 112 – write up a brief description about- • Earthenware • Stoneware • Porcelain • What are the differences in kiln temperatures for each. Lesson objective – to be able to identify common clays and related products

  5. Did you know? • That ceramics are being hailed as the materials of the future, car engines are being made from a combination of ceramics and metal alloys. • Why do you think this is the case? • Find out what Beryllia is – where can it be used Lesson objective – to be able to identify common clays and related products

  6. Beryllia • Is a combination of glazed ceramics and other metal alloys and chemicals that can be heated to 2350C° - this is a very high temperature, meaning that it can be used for nuclear power stations, space shuttles and more.

  7. AfL • You need to know what • Earthenware is • Stoneware and • Porcelain • then finally glaze Lesson objective – to be able to identify common clays and related products
