Metals, non-metals, and metalloids can be identified by their properties. Students are instructed to choose 10 common items, describe their properties including luster, ductility, malleability, magnetism, and conductivity, and classify each as a metal, non-metal, or metalloid based on these characteristics. The document provides a procedure for an activity where students determine the key differences and similarities between metals and non-metals.

1. Metals, Non Metals,
and Metalloid

2. How are metals
different from
nonmetals?
How are they
similar?

3.  Procedure:
1. Choose at least 10 things
you can find around you.
2. Describe the properties
of each thing. Give at
least 3 description.

4. 1. Decide whether each item
is a metal or non metal.
2. What are the basis of your
description? Determine
the properties of metal
and non metal.
3. Write all your answers in a
table.

5. Whatare the
characteristics
of Metals and
Non Metals?

6. Ductile
Luster
Malleable
Magnetic
Conductor
