This lesson plan outlines teaching students about the properties of metals and non-metals using a 5E model. In the engage stage, students observe the flow of electric current in a copper wire and coal to spark inquiry. In explore, students investigate sample metal and non-metal objects to list properties and group materials. In explain, students present findings and the teacher clarifies properties. In elaborate, students discuss uses of metals and non-metals based on properties, with exceptions. Finally, in evaluate, students self-assess their understanding and peer assess group presentations, while the teacher assesses identification of properties and grouping of materials.
