1.Pick up a single glove. Wear it to handle materials. 2.Which of the samples in front of you do you believe to be metals? a.Circle the numbers in the table (1-7) you think are metals. b.Tell your partner Why/What observations help you to define these as metals? 2. Are there any tests you could perform to prove to yourself that these materials are metals? What tests? Circle the tests you could perform safely in your seat. DO NOW:

Many suggest a Magnet would confirm metal vs non metal Label the 2 nd row of the table “metallic?” Use the magnet to test all 7 materials. Record your results in the table Discuss with your partner whether your results match your predictions.

Identification of materials 1. Aluminum 2. Magnesium 3. Cobalt 4. Iron 5. Carbon 6. Copper 7. Nickel

Another Test - Conductivity Label the 3 rd row of the table “conduct electricity?” Test the conductivity meter by turning it on then touching the two prongs to a metal part of your desk or chair. If it works, use it to test for ellectrical conductivity for each of the 7 materials. Record your results in the table Discuss with your partner whether your results match your original predictions.

Metals Good conductor of heat and electricity. Most metals are room temp. Most are malleable ( can be hammered or rolled into thin sheets). Tend to be ductile (can be stretched into fine wire). Sodium CopperGold

Nonmetals Are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Many are gases at room temp (1) bromine is a liquid The solid ones are brittle. Sulfur ChlorineBromine

Metalloids Elements that has some characteristics of metals and some characteristics of nonmetals. Found along the stair-step line separates the metals from non-metals on the P. T. They are all solids and tend to be less malleable than metals but not as brittle as nonmetals Silicon Boron

Results Magnets will NOT determine whether an unknown is a metal or a non-metal because some metals are not magnetic. You CAN test the unknown for electric conductivity Metals conduct, and the light on the meter turns on Non-metals don’t conduct and the light stays off
