Question:

is iron hard or easy to get?

is iron hard or easy to get?

Answer:

Most of the earth's crust is actually iron but it has to be separated from iron ore, which is basically iron bound up with other elements in rock. This is a process called smelting, which is heating up the iron ore until the pure iron separates.
Find a beach with black (iron sand) if you smelt this you will have a lump of fairly pure iron.
If you want to try something cool, get some cereal, like corn flakes, and mash it up in some water and get a magnet and you can collect some iron fillings from the cereal.
