A fully resourced, comprehensive, engaging and enjoyable lesson on the differences between the properties of metals and non - metals .
What’s Covered
- Metals are conductors of electricity and heat while non - metals are insulators
- Metals are strong (have high tensile strength) but non - metals are not
- Metals are shiny when freshly cut or polished but non -metals are dull
- Metals are sonorous (make a ringing noise when struck while non – metals do not.
- Metals are malleable (can be beaten into shape) and ductile (can be drawn into wires) but non – metals are neither and are brittle (shatter when struck.
- Iron, nickel and cobalt are magnetic but all non – metals are not magnetic.
- Metals are heavy which means they have a high have a high density because they contain a lot of particles. Non – metals are not heavy.
- Metals are all solids at room temperature, except for mercury which is a liquid, as they have high boiling and melting points. Of seventeen non - metals, all are gases except for five which are solids and one which is a liquid.
- Both metals are non – metals burn in oxygen to form the oxide.
- Metal oxides are alkaline and non -metal oxides are acidic.

Metals and Non-metals, Properties Classroom, Distance and Blended Learning KS3
The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson on the properties of metals and non – metals to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates hybrid learning and provides equality of opportunity for vulnerable students who are unable to attend school due to Covid-19. The classroom resource consists of an animated 48 slide PowerPoint and 18 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class. The distance learning pack consists of a 68 slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, guided notes, cut-outs, foldables, fact sheet and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. A shortened photocopiable PDF of the PowerPoint is provided to circulate to those pupils without computers.
