III. Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES

I. Daily Routine (One student will lead the

I.I PRAYER Prayer)
“Let start our class with a prayer to be lead by...”
I.2 GREETINGS
“Good Morning Class...” “Good Morning Ma’am!”
I.3 CLEANLINESS
“Please pick up the pieces of paper under your chair (Students pick up the pieces
and arrange your chairs” of paper)

(Students seat to their

“Please be seated” respective chairs)

I.4 ATTENDANCE (No absent Ma’am)

Who’s absent today?”
“Very Good!”

B. MOTIVATION
If you look around your house you will see (Students’ answers vary)
hundreds of objects made from dozens of kinds of
materials. Have you ever wondered why
manufacturer chose the materials they did for each
item?
Why are frying pans made of metal and their handle
is made of a special kind of plastic?
Could a cup be made of metal? Could a frying pan
be made of paper or plastic?

C. DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES
 This morning, we are going to tackle Metals,
Non-metals & Semi-metals in the periodic
table of elements.

D. PRE-LABORATORY ACTIVITY
For your activity. The students will form two (Students form a group and
groups. One member will be the leader, secretary follow the instruction of the
and reporter. The groups will be given a picture. teacher)
They have to group the materials in the picture as
metal or non-metal basing on its properties.
In a group activity, what are the standards to be Work cooperatively
followed? Participate actively
Minimize noise
Finish work on time
Please be reminded that you only have 10 minutes
to finish your task. Afterwards, you are going to
present your work to class. Is that clear to
everybody? Yes, ma’am!

You may now start working.

E. ACTIVITY PROPER
(the teacher facilitates in doing their activity) (the students working on their
assigned activity)
F. GROUP PRESENTATION

(the teacher will facilitate the group presentation of (the students will present their
the students) outputs in the class)

G. POST-LABORATORY DISCUSSION

Elements are categorized into three groups in the The three groups are the
periodic table. What are those? metals, non-metals and the
metalloids.

Metals appear to the left of the

Where can we locate the elements which are metals dark ziz-zag line on the
in the periodic table? periodic table.

What are the properties of metals? Metals, in their pure

state, have a shining
surface. This property
is called metallic luster.
Perhaps, you have been identifying a metal based
on its appearance. Most of the time, metals are
shiny. They exhibit a luster which is the reason that
they are used as decorations.

How about ductility? Many metals are ductile. This

means that metals can be
drawn into
wires. An example is copper.
The ductility of copper makes
it very useful as
electrical wires.
When can we say that a material is malleable? Some metals are malleable.
This means that they can be
hammered
or rolled into thin sheets
without breaking. An example
is aluminum. It is
passed into mills and rolled
thinly to produce the
aluminum foil used to
wrap food. Most soda cans
are made of aluminum, too.

Is metal a good conductor of heat & electricity? Yes. Metals are good
conductors of heat. The best
conductors of heat are silver
and copper. Metals are good
conductors of electricity as
well.
The second group is non-metals. Where can we find Nonmetals occur to the
these non-metals? right of the dark zig-
zag on the periodic
table. Although
Hydrogen is on the left,
it is also a nonmetal
because of its physical
properties.

How about the properties of non-metals? They’re the opposite

properties of metals which
are:

Nonmetals do not have

luster; they are dull.

Nonmetals are brittle so they

break easily.

Poor conductors of heat and

electricity or insulators

Lastly, we have semi-metals or what we called It is on the border of the

metalloids. How can we locate semi-metal diagonal line. We have seven
elements? elements along the line which
are semi-metals such as
Boron, Silicon, Germanium,
Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium
& Polonium.
How can we say that an element is a metalloid? When an element is exhibiting
both properties of metals &
non-metals.

*Metalloids are solids that can

be shiny or dull.

*Malleability: Metalloids can

be malleable and ductile, like
metals. They also can be
brittle, similar to nonmetals.

*They conduct electricity and

heat better than nonmetals but
not as well as metals.

H. GENERALIZATION

A list of elements can be found on an organized

chart called the periodic table. The location of each
element in the periodic table is based on its
properties. One of the ways the periodic table
groups the elements is to separate them into metals,
nonmetals, and metalloids.

IV. EVALUATION

A. Identify each element as a metal, nonmetal or metalloid.

Copper
Oxygen
Boron
Potassium
Silicon
Helium
Aluminum
Hydrogen
Calcium
Polonium
 B. Identify the following elements as metals or non-metals based on the
descriptions given below.
__________________1. Gold jewelries are shiny.
__________________2. Chalk breaks easily.
__________________3. Jena accidentally broke the vase of red roses.
__________________4. Copper is used in electrical wiring at home.
__________________5. Henry bought 10 galvanized iron for their roof.

C. List THREE (3) physical properties of metals, nonmetals and metalloids.
