Note to Pupils:
Metal Definition:
Metal is a substance known for its high electrical conductivity, luster, malleability (can be molded or bent), and ductility (can be stretched into wires).
Types of Metals:
- Iron – Use: nails, Example: nails
- Copper – Use: wires, Example: electrical wires
- Aluminum – Use: beverage cans, Example: soda can
- Gold – Use: jewelry, Example: necklace
- Silver – Use: coins, Example: dime
- Lead – Use: batteries, Example: car battery
- Zinc – Use: galvanizing, Example: galvanized iron
- Tin – Use: food containers, Example: canned soup
Evaluation:
- What is the definition of metal?
- Can you name two types of metal and their uses?
- List an example of an object made from metal.
Note to Teachers:
Customize the teaching methods and activities based on your curriculum, resources, and students’ needs. Ensure active student participation and engagement throughout the lesson.
