Meaning
Ceramics are hard and brittle materials that are made by heating a mixture in an oven.
About Ceramics
- Ceramics are very strong and so a large force can be applied before they break.
- 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.
