Subject: Science

Grade Level: Grade 7

Objective: a. describe properties of metals and non-metals; b. create a

graphic organizer on metals and non-metals; and c. demonstrate a positive
attitude towards learning about the properties of metals and non-metals by
completing a journal entry.

Learning within the curriculum:

1) The topic of "Chemical Reactions" where students explore how metals and non-
metals behave during reactions, such as oxidation and reduction, which connects to
the properties of these elements.

2) The topic of "Periodic Table" where students will study the arrangement of
elements, understanding how metals and non-metals are categorized based on
shared properties, linking to their properties and uses.

Learning across the curriculum:

1) In Mathematics, students can explore "Measurement" by calculating the density of

metals and non-metals, which reinforces the concept of physical properties and
scientific reasoning.

2) In Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE), students can learn about

"Materials Science" by investigating how metalsSubject and: non Science-met

APPLICATION:

[Teaching Strategy:] Experiential Learning

Task 1 - Conduct a home scavenger hunt where students identify and categorize
everyday items as metals or non-metals, writing down their properties.

Task 2 - Create a simple experiment where students test the conductivity of various
materials (e.g., metal vs. non-metal) using a simple circuit.

ASSESSMENT:

[Teaching Strategy:] Formative Assessment

[Instructional Materials:] Quiz platform, whiteboard for group discussion

Question 1 - What are two properties that distinguish metals from non-metals?

Question 2 - Provide an example of a metal and a non-metal and describe their

uses.

Question 3 - How does understanding the properties of these materials help us in

our daily lives?
H.O.T.S.:

Question 1 - Why do you think metals are used in construction more than non-
metals?

Answer 1 - Metals are generally stronger and more durable than non-metals, making
them preferable for structural applications.

Question 2 - How would our lives change if metals did not exist?

Answer 2 - The absence of metals would significantly alter technology, construction,

and various industries, as metals are essential for many applications.

Question 3 - Predict how the properties of metals and non-metals might affect future
technological advancements.

Answer 3 - Understanding these properties may lead to innovative materials that

combine the strengths of both categories, enhancing technology in fields like
electronics and materials science.

Assignment:

**Assignment 1:**

**Overview for Teacher:** Encourage students to explore their surroundings and

identify metals and non-metals in their homes or communities.

**Assessment Question:** Identify three metals and three non-metals you found,
describing one property of each.

**Assignment 2:**

**Overview for Teacher:** Have students research an application of metals and

non-metals in technology or nature.

**Assessment Question:** Write a short report on how a specific metal or non-

metal is used in technology, including its properties and significance.
