Physical Properties of Metals and Non-Metals
Students will compare and contrast the physical characteristics of metals and non-metals through observation and experimentation.
Key Questions
- Differentiate between metals and non-metals based on their physical properties.
- Analyze how properties like malleability and ductility are utilized in various applications.
- Predict the state of matter and appearance of an unknown element based on its classification.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerThematic Unit
Organize a multi-week unit around a central theme or essential question that cuts across topics, texts, and disciplines, helping students see connections and build deeper understanding.
rubricSingle-Point Rubric
Build a single-point rubric that defines only the "meets standard" level, leaving space for teachers to document what exceeded and what fell short. Simple to create, easy for students to understand.
