1. Bell Work:
Pick up a Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids handout and glue it in your composition notebook on page 51.
Read over the handout and make sure you know the different properties for the three different types of elements.

2. Get Familiar with the Periodic Table…

4. Around the Room… Number your paper 1-8.
Walk around the room and identify the statements: Metal, Nonmetal, or Metalloid.
Sit down when you are finished.

5. Metal #1: Metal, Nonmetal, or Metalloid

13. Do Not Use a Periodic Table at This Time!
Element Card Sort
You will be given 15 element cards.
Read the properties listed on each card.
Separate the cards into three columns:
Metals, Nonmetals, or Metalloids

17. SMASH YOUR NOTES!
On PAGE 52, SMASH your composition notebook with information about metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
You have to know the properties of each category.
METALS
NONMETALS
Shiny
Solid (except mercury)
High density
Strong
Malleable
Good conductor of heat and electricity
Some are magnetic
Make a ringing sound when hit
High melting point
Dull
Half are solids, about half are gases, and one is liquid
Low density
Weak
Brittle
Poor conductor of heat and electricity
None are magnetic
Make a dull sound when hit
