Unit 11 Gold
M: Gold has been a part of many cultures for
hundreds of years. People made coins and jewelry
with gold.
Gold is a soft metal. It is easy to shape into
sheets, long wires, or rings. People sometimes
mix gold with other metals. This makes the gold
harder. Then it can be made into beautiful jewelry.
Why do we value gold so much? It has a
special color. No other metal is a bright yellow.
We also value gold because it is rare. A rare
thing is hard to find. Even after hundreds of
years, gold is still a precious metal now. It is still
valued for its beauty. It is still rare.
Today, banks store gold in the form of bars.
Its value is more than $600 per ounce. Gold is
more useful now than ever before.
