Meaning
Ceramics are hard and brittle materials that are made by heating a mixture in an oven.

- Ceramics are brittle so they break easily when they are hit suddenly by a large force.
Examples
- Bricks - Ceramic blocks used to build houses.
- Pottery - Ceramic bowls, plates, cups and pots used for storing/holding food and drink.
