Metals and Non-Metals GCSE Chemistry Periodic Table

**Metals and Non- Metals GCSE Chemistry AQA 9-1 **

By the end of the lesson your students will be able to:

1. Identify where metals and non-metals are found in the periodic table.

2. Describe the differences in metals and non-metals based on their properties.

3. Explain how the electronic structure of metals and non-metals links to how they react and where they are positioned in the periodic table.

This resource is a PowerPoint presentation to support teaching about metals and non-metals for the first time. By the end of the lesson, students should understand the differences between metals and non-metals, where they are situated in the periodic table and how their electronic structures correspond to how they react. Previous knowledge on what a group is will be required, as well as atomic structure (e.g. understanding what an electron is).

Included in the resource:

• Opening slide with title, keywords, learning objectives and lead on topics
• Starter slide with simple intro task
• Information slides showing positioning of metals and non-metals in the periodic table and the ions they make
• Printable worksheet slide to consolidate knowledge and organize learning
• Activity slide with three tasks (one stretch)
• Plenary question slide to summarize

All ANSWERS included and the resource is completely EDITABLE.
