Zinc is a transition metal with an atomic number of 30. It was discovered in 1746 by German chemist Andreas Marggraf through an experiment where he heated zinc ore with charcoal. Zinc has a melting point of 419.58°C and is used in galvanization to prevent rust, in zinc-air batteries, and makes up 97.5% of the U.S. penny. The human body contains around 1.5 grams of zinc which is essential for cell growth, wound healing, and protein synthesis. Common sources of dietary zinc include meat, cheese, and flour.

6. History
-Date of discovery: 1746
-Discoverer: Andreas Marggraf
-Name origin: From German
word zin (meaning tin)
Some ores were already known
in the Bronze Age, but only
much later was it recognized
that it is an element. Zinc was
first isolated in1746 in the
history of the German chemist
Andreas Marggraf as a pure
metal. In his experiment
nMarggraf heated the ore
charcoal.

8. Interesting fact
about zinc
Did you know that
Zinc is completely
out of Metal, in 1746
Andreas Marggraf
made an experiment
that had shown that
zinc was out of
metal.

10. Uses of Zinc
-Zinc in the U.S. Penny: Since
1982 the U.S. penny is made
up of 97.5 percent zinc and
2.5 percent copper.
-In a normal human body
that weighs 70kg, 0,002
percent (1,49 grams) of the
body is made up of zinc.

12. Uses of Zinc
-Zinc in our everyday life: Zinc
is in mostly every food item we
know, in the items below is the
most zinc on the base of 100
gram.
-Meat-6mg
-Cheese-3,5-4mg
-flour-5,7mg

14. Der Gebrauch von Zink /
The use of Zinc
Wussten Sie, dass in einem Auto
nahezu 100 Teile aus Zink
bestehen? Jedes Auto enthält 40 kg
Zink in fast 100 Teilen. Es bestehen
3 kg nur um das Auto vor Rost zu
schützen, und der Rest der 40 kg
wird als Füllmaterial verwendet.
Did you know that every car has
almost 100 parts out of zinc? Every
car has 40 kg zinc in almost 100
parts. There are 3 kg made just to
protect the car from rusting, the rest
of the 40 kg is used as filling

16. Der Gebrauch von Zink /
The use of Zink
!Aufgepasst! Zink ist ein gutes
Heilmittel für offene Wunden. Zink
beschleunigt den Heilungsprozess
und wird manchmal auch benutzt, um
sich vor Erkältungen zu schützen.
!Attention! Zinc is used for healing
wounds. It speeds up the process
of healing, and it is sometimes
used to protect the body from
colds.

18. My Element box
My Element box represents the element
Zinc. It shows general information and
uses of Zinc. I'm also showing the
history and the interesting fact to give
more information to see how zinc got
found and what it's made of. I
basically filled my box with information
and interesting facts about the element
zinc, Which I was researching over the
last few weeks.
The 3-D model: The model that I chose to
represent the element zinc is a box of pills
which are made of zinc. They are used to
get vitamins into your body. I chose that box
to show that zinc is used in our daily life.

how zinc can look like
