Topic/ Title PROPERTIES OF METALS AND NONMETALS
Grade Level GRADE 7
Time Allotment JULY 29, 2019
Learning Competency
The learners shall be able to describe some properties of metals and nonmetals
such as luster, malleability, ductility, and brittleness. S7MT-Ij-7
Objectives
At the end of the lesson the students should be able to:
1. Distinguish between metals and nonmetals based on its electrical
conductivity, malleability, brittleness and luster.
ELICIT TEACHERS QUESTIONS/ STUDENTS RESPONSES
REMINDER AND TASKS
Recall the lesson on the periodic table
of elements.
Guide Question:
What is an element?
ENGAGE
A. Student will be able to define
some of the properties of
elements.
What is malleability? Malleability is the
property of a material
that can be flattened
into thin sheets
without breaking .
Electrical conductivity
How about electrical is the property of a
conductivity? material to allow
electricity to pass
through.
B. The teacher will demonstrate how to
test the given properties.
EXPLORE
Today, you are going to test if which
of the prepared elements/material are
malleable, brittle, luster, and can
conduct electricity
I will divide you in four (4) groups.
At the end of the activity, you should
be able to: identify materials that are
malleable, luster, brittle and conduct
electricity.
Group I
Malleability
DIRECTION: Put a check (/) that
correspond to the element tested.
Element/ Malleable Not
Samples Malleable
Aluminum
Sulfur
Iron
Copper
Carbon
Magnesium
ribbon
Guide Questions:
Q1. Which elements are malleable? Not
malleable?
Q2. Why do you say that they are
malleable?
Group 2
Electrical Conductivity
Direction: Put a check (/) mark that
correspond to the element tested.
Element/ Conductor Nonconductor
Samples of of electricity
Electricity
Aluminum
Sulfur
Iron

Guide Questions:
Q1. Which elements are conductor of
electricity? Nonconductor of electricity?
Q2. Why do you say that they are good
conductor of electricity?
Group 3
Brittleness
Direction: Put a check (/) mark that
correspond to the element tested.
Element/ Brittle Not brittle
