Medal working and welding

Science

• The child learned about the properties of different metals and how they can be manipulated through welding.
• They gained an understanding of the process of heating and melting metals to create a strong bond.
• The child learned about safety precautions and protective gear required when working with hot metals.
• They also learned about different welding techniques and how they can be applied to create different types of joints.

For continued development, the child can explore more advanced welding techniques such as TIG welding and MIG welding. They can also experiment with different types of metals and alloys to understand how their properties affect the welding process and the final outcome. Additionally, the child can research and learn about the history of medal working and welding, including notable artists and craftsmen in the field.
