ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Iron

Iron is a metal that we use for lots of different things. You might know it as the stuff that your parents use to press their clothes, or the heavy weights at the gym.

Iron is found in the ground, so we have to dig it up to use it. Then, we heat it up really hot and mix it with other things to make different kinds of iron that can be used for different things.

Iron is also really important for our bodies. We need it to make a special part of our blood called hemoglobin that helps carry oxygen around our body. If we don't get enough iron in our diet, we can get really tired and sick.

Overall, iron is a really strong metal that we use for lots of different things and we need it in our bodies to stay healthy!
