Ingot

An ingot is like a big bar of metal. Imagine if you were building a fort out of blocks and you took all of the blocks and squished them together to make one big block. That big block of metal is an ingot! People use ingots to make things like cars, bridges, and airplanes. It's like a big piece of metal that can be melted down and shaped into whatever we need it to be. Think of it like a lump of play-doh that can be molded into different shapes.
