A common micro structure found in ceramic materials is a

• Crystalline structure

• Grain structure

• Chain structure

• pretty pattern

Although ceramic materials have a good range of important properties one limitation to their use is that they are often

• Too brittle

• Too ductile

• Too light

Traditional ceramics(not glass) are typically made from ...

• the hydration of sand particles

• combining clays and other minerals from the ground

• baking tree leaves in the sun
