Sound is produced when a matter vibrates. Sounds consists waves and these waves travel as a longitudinal waves. Sound travels fastest in solids because the particles are closer. The speed of sound depends on the temperature of matter. The higher the temperature, the higher the speed of sound is. The properties of sound are reflection and refraction. In reflection, the sound wave turns back when it hits a barrier. A good example of this are echoes and reverberations. On the other hand, refraction is the bending of sound waves.

The solenoid engine project works on electromagnetic principles of a solenoid. A solenoid is copper coil. The wire is tightly folded multiples to form a solenoid coil. When electrical charge is supplied to the solenoid, it creates a magnetic flux as the current passes through it. The solenoid engine is V4 engine. There are four solenoids as cylinders and there is one piston in each solenoid. The metal pistons inside the solenoids react to the magnetic field created by the solenoids when current is flowing through. When the electrical current is no more flowing through the solenoid, the pistons fall back down to their original position due to gravity. As a result, the piston moves in a linear motion. The pistons are connected to the crankshaft. When the pistons move in a specific sequence, the crankshaft rotates. The linear motion has been converted to rotary motion using this mechanism. The RPM of the engine was controlled by adding a potentiometer to control the resistance of voltage provided to the solenoids. Therefore, controlling how fast the engine operates.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Qtr 1 module 5 metals & nonmetals
1. Suggested time allotment: 4 to 5 hours
MODULE METALS AND NONMETALS
5 Elements are the simplest form of substances. This means
that whatever you do with an element, it remains to be
the same element. Its physical state may change but the
identity of the element will not. It may form compounds with other elements
but the element will never form
anything simpler than it
already is.
There are already more than a
hundred elements and are
organized in a Periodic Table.
Some of them are naturally
occurring and some were
produced in a laboratory.
In this module, you will find
out more about the elements.
You will see that majority of
them are metals, and almost
the rest are nonmetals.
How are metals different from nonmetals?
How are they similar?
In the earlier grades, you segregated objects according to the material
they are made of. You did this when you were starting the habit of 5Rs —
recycle, reuse, recover, repair or reduce. Look around you. Which objects are
made of metals? What made you say that they are metals?
Perhaps, you have been identifying a metal based on its appearance. Most of
the time, metals are shiny. They exhibit a certain luster.
2. Other properties exhibited by some metals
Some metals are ductile. This means that
metals can be drawn into wires. An example is
copper. Refer to the figure on the right. Note the
form at which copper is mined. However, due to its
ductility, copper may assume a form similar to a
wire, just like the image in the cover of this
module. Gold is also a metal that is ductile;
however, it is rarely used as an electrical wire. Copper ore.
What could be the reason for this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper
(without permission yet)
Some metals are malleable. This means that they can be hammered or
rolled into thin sheets without breaking. An example is aluminum. It is
mined deep from the ground in the form of blocks. They are passed into
mills and rolled thinly. One common form is the aluminum foil that you use
to wrap food to keep it hot. Most soda cans are made of aluminum too. Find
a soda can and strike it with a hammer. What happened with the soda can?
Some metals are magnetic. This means that they are attracted by a
magnet. The common ones are iron, nickel and cobalt. Get a magnet. Try
them in different metals in your home or school. Were they all attracted to
the magnet? What metals are these?
Metals are known to possess
luster, ductility, malleability and
magnetic properties. However not all
metals exhibit all of these properties.
For instance, the metals sodium and
potassium are not ductile at ordinary
conditions. They are very soft that even
a kitchen knife can cut them into
slices as what you can see in the image
on the right. Note though that only A piece of sodium metal sliced using a knife.
experts are allowed to do this. Recall http://www.sciencephoto.com/media/92453/enlarge
(without permission yet)
what you have learned in module 4
about sodium when it comes in contact with water. Zinc at room
temperature is not malleable. Most of the metals are not attracted by a
magnet. Nevertheless, a material is still considered a metal as long as it
possesses any of these properties. A material that does not possess any of
these properties is known as a nonmetal.
Grade 7 Science: Matter 2
Diversity of Materials in the Environment
3. Properties exhibited by all metals
But are there properties that are common to all metals? In the next
activity, you will investigate the electrical conductivity of different
materials. This property allows
electricity to pass through a
material. You will find out whether
this property is exhibited by metals
or nonmetals. You will use an These are made from copper.

touching each other.
the one shown on the right.
Activity 1
Which can conduct electricity, metals or nonmetals?
Objective
In this activity, you should be able to distinguish between metals and
nonmetals based on its electrical conductivity.
Materials Needed
samples of copper, aluminum, sulfur, iron and iodine
white paper
improvised conductivity apparatus
Procedure
1. Place a sample in a sheet of white paper. This will help you observe
the samples better. In Table 1, note down the appearance of each of
them.

Grade 7 Science: Matter 3
Diversity of Materials in the Environment
4. Q1. Which of the samples look like metals? How about nonmetals?
2. Place the end tip of the improvised conductivity apparatus in contact
with each sample. If the tester gives off a sound, the sample is said to
be electrically conductive. Otherwise, it is electrically nonconductive.
Note: Do not let the end tips of the conductivity tester touch each other.
Q2. Which of the samples are electrical conductors? Which are not? Note
them down in Table 1.
In the preceding activity, you determined qualitatively the electrical
conductivity of each sample. However, if you wish to know the electrical
conductivity values, a more sophisticated tester may be used such as the
one in the figure below.
The metallic probe in the figure on the right is
the one that comes in contact with the sample. It
will measure then display the electrical
conductivity value in the liquid crystal display
(LCD) screen. Refer to the periodic table found at
the back page of this module. The electrical
conductivity values are written at the bottom line
of each box. It is expressed in x106 Ohm-1cm-1.
What do you notice about the elements with
electrical conductivity values? Where are they
located in the periodic table?
One amazing feature of the periodic table is
that all the metals are placed in one side.
Those that are on the other side (grayish
shade) are the nonmetals.
Notice that there is a stair step line
which somewhat divides the metals and
nonmetals. These elements are the
metalloids. They are elements exhibiting
properties that are intermediate to metals
and nonmetals. Name the metalloids. Name
some metals. Name some nonmetals.
Grade 7 Science: Matter 4
Diversity of Materials in the Environment
5. Which are electrically conductive, metals or nonmetals? Which element
has the highest electrical conductivity value? Is it higher than copper? If so,
what could be the reason for using copper as an electrical wire more than
this element?
You might wonder why some metals do not have electrical conductivity
values when supposedly all of them possess such property. Notice that these
metals are the ones mostly found at the last rows of the periodic table.
Elements in those rows are mostly radioactive. This means that the element
is very unstable and exists in a very short period of time. In effect, it would
be difficult to test for their properties. In the higher grade levels, you will
learn that there are ways to infer the electrical conductivities of these
elements.
Electrical conductivity clearly distinguishes metals from nonmetals but
there is one exception. Refer to the periodic table. Which element is
electrically conductive even if it is a nonmetal?
One form of carbon is graphite. It is commonly available
as the black rod in your pencils. Get your sharpened pencil.
Place the black rod in between the end tips of your improvised
conductivity tester. Make sure that the black rod is in contact with
the tips of the tester. What happened?
In the higher grade levels, you will learn why carbon (graphite)
though a nonmetal is electrically conductive.
Look for other objects and test if they are made up of metal or nonmetal.
Write down these objects in the appropriate box of the diagram below.
Were you able to find a cooking
pot as one of your test objects?
What element is it mainly made
of?
Refer to Table 2. This table
shows the thermal conductivity
values of some elements
expressed in Watt/centimeter-
Kelvin (W/cmK). Thermal
conductivity is the ability of an
element to allow heat to pass
through it. The higher the value,
Grade 7 Science: Matter 5
Diversity of Materials in the Environment
6. the better heat conductor an element is. Find the element that was mainly
used for the cooking pot you have. What can you say about the thermal
conductivity of this element compared with the other elements? Is this
element, a metal or nonmetal? In general, which are better heat conductors,
metals or nonmetals? Based on Table 2, what other elements can be used as
cooking pots?

Metals and Nonmetals In and Around You
In the figure below, you will find the elements that your body is made
up of. What element are you made up of the most? Is it a metal or a
nonmetal? Of all the elements reported in the graph, how many are metals?
How about nonmetals?
Data taken from Burns, 1999
Grade 7 Science: Matter 6
Diversity of Materials in the Environment
7. Refer to the figure below. The figure shows how much of one element is
present in the Earth’s crust relative to the other elements. What element is
the most abundant in the Earth’s crust? What comes second? Are these
metals or nonmetals?
Data taken from Burns, 1999
Refer to the periodic table. What constitutes majority of the elements,
metals or nonmetals?
Interestingly, even with the fewer number of nonmetals, their
abundance is higher than metals. As you have seen above from the two
graphs, both living and nonliving systems are mainly composed of
nonmetals.
As you learned in module 4, elements form compounds. The percentage
abundance of the elements reported in the graphs above accounts some
elements that are present in compounds, much like the food ingredients you
encountered in the last module. For instance, sodium is present in sodium
chloride. The 18.0% carbon that makes up the human body is mostly
compounds of carbon such as the DNA that carries your genetic code.
Oxides of Metals and Nonmetals
Similarly, oxygen accounted in the graphs may also be in compounds.
Some of these compounds are called oxides. These oxides may be formed
when an element is burned. These oxides exhibit different acidities. In
Grade 7 Science: Matter 7
Diversity of Materials in the Environment
8. module 2, you learned that there are indicators that you can use to
determine such. One of these acid indicators is the litmus paper. What color
does the litmus paper show when the sample is acidic? How about when the
sample is basic?
In the next activity, you will separately burn a sample of a metal and a
nonmetal. You will test the acidity of the oxide of a metal and that of the
oxide of a nonmetal.
Activity 2
Acidity of the oxides of metals and nonmetals
Objective
In this activity, you should be able to distinguish between metals and
nonmetals based on the acidity of their oxides.

___________________________________________________________________________
In this module, you learned about the properties of metals and
nonmetals. These properties are the ones that determine their uses like
aluminum’s malleability to become soda cans, and copper’s ductility to
become electrical wires.
Most of the elements are metals. Some metals are
malleable; some are ductile; some are magnetic but all of
them are electrically conductive. Nonmetals are electrically
nonconductive except for some forms of carbon.
It is important to note though that most objects are made not of a single
material, rather of a combination of materials so they become fitter for a
purpose. This is where your knowledge on the properties of materials comes
in. Which materials do you combine to make it fit for a purpose? As you can
see from the image in this module cover, the electrical wire made of copper
was covered with rubber. Rubber is mainly made of compounds of
nonmetals such as carbon, hydrogen and chlorine. As you have learned,
nonmetals are nonconductors of electricity. Using a nonmetal to cover a
metal makes it safer to use as an electrical wire.
As you advance to another grade level, there are more properties of
matter that you will encounter. It is hoped that you will be able to maximize
the properties of different materials to create new beneficial products or find
other uses for them.
