CALA Title: Electrochemical process of rusting

Background
Structures at schools and in the community are made of steel, and their life span is being reduced by
the effects of corrosion. The main environmental impacts of rust is the degradation of steel and iron
structures such as bridges, cars and corrugated roof sheets.
 Identify structures that are affected by rust [5]
 Describe the electrochemical process of rusting. [5]
 Identify causes of rusting. [5]
 List methods of preventing rusting. [5]
 Explain each method preventing rusting. [10]
 Recommend the best method of preventing corrugated roofing at your school from
rusting. [5]
