Principles of Science
Metals, Non-metals, and Metalliods
IN: Name the type of element that is most abundant on the periodic table. Metals
Lesson Format:
Correct the green worksheet on metals, non-metals, and metalliods as a class; check for
understanding. Watch brainpop clip on metals. Define and discuss keywords.
Assignment: Define: luster, malleability, ductility, conductivity, properties, and alloy
OUT:
Create a chart comparing metals, non-metals, and metalliods. Metals: shiny, luster, malleable,
ductile, good conductor of electricity, most abundant on the periodic table. Non-metals: poor
conductors of electricity, dull, brittle, found on the right side of the periodic table. Metalliods: have
both characteristics of both metal and non-metals.

6.4 - The student will explain that elements have characteristic properties which can be used to
classify them. [P.12.A.2]
6.6 - The student will explain the elements are arranged in the periodic table according to their
atomic structure and periodic properties. [P.12.A.2]
6.5 - The student will determine how the structures of atoms and molecules determine their
properties and behaviors. [P.12.A.2]
6.3 - The student will distinguish among atoms, elements, molecules, and compounds. [P.12.A.1]

Principles of Science
Metals, Non-metals, and Metalliods
IN: Compare and contrast metals, non-metals, and metalliods using a Venn diagram.
Lesson Format:
Create a Metal, Non-metal, or a Metalliod superhero. Groups of four will each be given a topic. The
criteria will be to draw a superhero, list characteristics, where they live, give them a name, list
special powers, and be as descriptive as possible(friends, what they do in their spare time, favorite
food, etc.). Groups will each be given a sheet of paper to brainstorm for ideas. Information will be
presented to the class.
Assignment: Create a Superhero!
OUT: 3-2-1: name 3 characteristics of a metal. Name 2 of a non-metal. Name 1 of a metalliod.
Things needed: Big paper for each group, 10 pieces per class, typed criteria for eachgroup.

Metals, Non-metals, and Metalliods
IN: Compare and contrast metals, non-metals, and metalliods using a Venn diagram.
Lesson Format:
Create a metal, non-metal, or metalliods superhero. Groups of four will be given one of the previous
topics. Superhero criteria: draw the sperhero, list characterisitcs, where they live, give tham a name,
list special powers, be as descriptive as possible(friends, what they do in their spare time, favorite
food, etc.). Groups will brainstorm on a different shhet of paper. Information will be presented to the
class.
Assignment: Group activity, creating a superhero!
OUT: 3-2-1: Name 3 characteristics of a metal. Name 2 characterisitics of a non-metal. Name 1
characteristc of a metalliod.
Things needed: Big paper for each group, at least 10 per class, typed criteria for each group.

Principles of Science
Inoic and covalent Bonding
IN: The amount of binding sites is related to what? Valence electrons.
Lesson Format: Complete notes on bonding. View brainpop clip on Ions.
Assignment: Begin ionic and convalent bonding worksheet.
OUT: Define a covalent bond and a ionoic bond. Covalent bond: when 2 atoms share electrons.
Ionic bond: when ions are formed, electron are either lost or gained.

6.20 - The student will describe bonding. [P.12.A.4]
6.16 - The student will describe the role of chemical bonding in the “build-up” and “breakdown” of
molecules necessary for living organisms. [P.12.A.4, P.12.A.6]
6.11 - The student will use the periodic table to predict which elements generally form ionic
compounds and which generally form covalent compounds. [P.12.A.2, P.12.A.4, P.12.A.9]
6.14 - The student will use models to demonstrate that the reactants and products in chemical
reactions are conserved. [P.12.A.5]

Principles of Science
Inoic and covalent Bonding
IN: Explain when ions are formed. Ions are formed when electrons are either gained or lost.
Lesson Format: Assist with worksheet and check for understanding.
Assignment: Complete ionic and convalent bonding worksheet. Crossword if time permits
OUT: Explain a cation and an anion. Cation: the loss of an electron becomes positive. Anion: the
gain of an electron becomes negative.
