A table of the physical properties of metals and non-metals opens this high-school chemistry handout. Also covered are the chemical properties of metals and non-metals, reactivity, and fossil fuels. There are no specific questions to...

Steel is a man-made alloy or a mixture of metals. Lesson 18 in this series of 36 focuses on metals and their extraction from Earth. Individuals read about, discuss, and answer questions after learning how people find most metals, the...

Mix it up by using an intriguing resource that teaches young metallurgists that alloys are a metal mixture. They learn about the advantages of using alloys over pure metals and investigate titanium alloys as an example to finish the...

Did you know you can melt the metal gallium with just the heat of your hand? Pupils observe and test materials in order to classify them as metal or non-metal. A reading passage and analysis questions wrap up the lesson. 

What are alloys, and why do we use them? Through a series of interactive puzzles, scholars examine the components and uses of several common alloys. The accompanying teacher's resources provide support in using the lesson, printable...

Tidy slides and lecture notes for each are included in this presentation on alloys. Instruction begins with the molecular arrangement of a pure element, gold, and progresses to a few example alloys: brass, steel, and nitinol. This...

Fifth graders study the properties of metals and use them to identify different properties.  In this metal properties instructional activity students complete a demonstration .

Future engineers test different alloys to determine the specific strength of each one. Based on the results, they make a recommendation to NASA on which alloy to use on engines for spacecraft.

Include a lab about alloys and magnets in your fourth grade science lesson. Young scientists read the necessary background knowledge about alloys, then choose which objects (a screw, a bell, scissors, or coins) will be attracted to...

In this chemistry worksheet, students use the clues at the bottom of the sheet to complete the crossword puzzle on metals. There are 21 clues to solve on the sheet.

Don't you wish you had the time to type up a study guide for your chemistry class? With this resource, there is no need! A chart comparing the properties of metals and non-metals tops the handout, followed by notes on the reactivity...

What's the difference between base metals and precious metals? Experimenting with natural metals is an interesting way for kids to learn about the world around them. Use a resource that contains over 30 pages of worksheets and...

Students identify and describe transition metals. They discuss alloys and their benefits. Students research one common, alloy, its composition, properties, and uses. They are asked for some common properties of most transition metals....

In this properties of metals worksheet, students read about the history of metal use and their properties. Students read about metallic bonding and answer three questions about bonding in metals.

In this chemistry of art instructional activity, students read about the chemical reactions that turn art made of different metals colors. They answer three questions about the chemical reactions related to metals and art.

In this metal worksheet, students answer short answer questions and true and false questions about different metals found on Earth. Students complete 10 questions.

For this metals learning exercise, learners read about the different properties of aluminum, copper, and iron and determine why these metals are used the way they are. The exercise has five short answer questions.

Use chemistry to change pennies into gold coins! The experimental procedure leads learners through the process of changing copper pennies to silver and then to gold. They record the mass of each coin through every step of the experiment.

Middle schoolers experiment with transition metals.  In this transition metals lesson plan students find the common properties of transition metals and conduct an experiment using one of them.  Middle schoolers then answer...

Students research the elements used to create fireworks. In this periodic table lesson, students discuss common metals, their characteristics, and their places on the periodic table. They work in small groups to research the elements...

In this density of pennies worksheet, student conduct an experiment to determine the metals used in the core of pennies made after 1983. Students design their own experiments using a balance and graph paper to determine the density of...

How exciting would it be for your chemistry class to produce their own "gold"? This experiment allows pupils to witness the chemical reaction of copper pennies as they react with zinc and sodium hydroxide to produce "gold" tokens. It is...

There's nothing sticky about the resource, unless you count the gumdrops! Scholars create a model of a lithium atom, complete with protons, neutrons, and electrons. It's just that these models are made with gumdrops and toothpicks.

Three Dog Night isn't just the name of a band; it is also the way an Australian tribe, who used dogs to stay warm, would describe the temperature on a cool evening. After reading about many different ways of measuring temperature, the...
