percent (1,49 grams) of the
body is made up of zinc.

gram.

18. My Element box
My Element box represents the element
Zinc. It shows general information and
uses of Zinc. I'm also showing the
history and the interesting fact to give
more information to see how zinc got
found and what it's made of. I
basically filled my box with information
and interesting facts about the element
zinc, Which I was researching over the
last few weeks.
The 3-D model: The model that I chose to
represent the element zinc is a box of pills
which are made of zinc. They are used to
get vitamins into your body. I chose that box
to show that zinc is used in our daily life.
