Rust is what happens when metal meets water and air. Imagine your bike outside in the rain, the water and oxygen start to play with the metal, turning it into a red, flaky substance called rust. To stop this, we can cover the metal like a shield or change the environment so the rust doesn’t have a chance to grow.
Examples
- Your bike gets rusty after a rainy day in the park.
- A nail left outside turns red and flaky over time.
- A can of soda left on a car during summer leaves rust spots.
