Construction workers in orange vests and hard hats spread concrete. Overcast sky, bare trees, and mounds of dirt in the background.

Concrete and cement are often mistaken for the same thing, but they’re actually quite different! Let’s break it down:

Cement: The Binding Agent

  • Cement is a fine powder made from limestone, clay, shells, and silica.

  • It acts as a binding agent when mixed with water.

  • Cement undergoes a chemical process called hydration, which allows it to harden and bond with other materials.

  • On its own, cement isn’t very strong—but it’s a key ingredient in making conc



    rete.

Concrete: The Final Product

  • Concrete is a composite material made by mixing cement, water, sand, and gravel (or crushed stone).

  • Once mixed, it can be shaped and molded before it hardens.

  • After curing, concrete becomes an incredibly durable and versatile building material.

  • It’s used in everything from roads and bridges to foundations and skyscrapers!
