Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Chemical Properties Investigation lesson plan also includes:
  • Chemical Properties Investigation
  • Join to access all included materials

This lesson demonstrates differentiated instruction at its best. Over the course of 2-3 class periods, young chemists have the opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of metals and their chemical properties from a variety of differentiated lessons. They have the potential to garner knowledge of the periodic table and how elements relate to one another. They utilize this knowledge to draw conclusions based on analysis gathered throughout a variety of activities performed, all according to each pupil's multiple intelligence and individual preferences.
