The difference between metals and non-metals - Science Gr 4-5
<html>
<h3>On Earth we find different types of materials like glass, plastic and wood. &nbsp;</h3>

<p>Metals and non-metals are 2 classes materials can be divided in and have<strong> special properties</strong>. &nbsp;Properties is something you can say about a specific material like for instance you can say a solid takes up space and keeps its shape.</p>
<p>If you want to make anything, you will have to first decide what is the purpose of the product (what do you want to do with it)</p>
<p>&nbsp;If you want to build a desk, you are going to use wood or steel because it is strong. &nbsp;If you decide on the purpose you will be able to decide what type of material you will use.</p>
<p><strong>Metals and non-metals differ from one another and have different properties.</strong></p>
<h2>Metals</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://imgoat.com/uploads/7177163c83/43785.jpg" width="630" height="422"/></p>
<p><a href="https://imgoat.com/uploads/7177163c83/43785.jpg">image source</a></p>
<p>Metals are usually <strong>shiny</strong>. &nbsp;The light will reflect off the piece of metal and the surface of a metal is called the luster.</p>
<p>Most metals <strong>feels heavy</strong> and their molecules (the parts it is made of) is packed closely together, so we say it is dense.</p>
<p>Metals are <strong>good conductors</strong> of electricity and heat - this means the heat and electricity will move through it quickly. &nbsp;If you put one part of the metal in a fire and touch the part that is not in the fire a bit later it will also be hot. &nbsp;The reason is because the heat moves through the metal.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://imgoat.com/uploads/7177163c83/43786.jpg" width="509" height="339"/></p>
<p><a href="https://imgoat.com/uploads/7177163c83/43786.jpg">image source</a></p>
<p>We can make metal into sheets, which means it is <strong>malleable</strong> and can also make thin wire from it so we say it is <strong>ductile</strong>.</p>
<p>Most metals can be <strong>heated</strong> to a high temperature and not change its shape. &nbsp;That is why people make pots from metals. &nbsp;Another reason is because it if a good conductor of heat, the pot will get warm fast.</p>
<p>Where does metals come from? It is mined from the earth. &nbsp;Watch the video on the story of metals.</p>

<h2>Non-metals</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://imgoat.com/uploads/7177163c83/43787.jpg" width="638" height="479"/></p>
<p><a href="https://imgoat.com/uploads/7177163c83/43787.jpg">image source</a></p>
<p><strong>Non-metals have different properties from metals</strong>.</p>
<p>Non-metals are <strong>not shiny</strong> and mostly dull - think of plastic.</p>
<p>Most of the non-metals you <strong>can bend</strong>, but they are brittle which means it will break if you bend it too much.</p>
<p>Non-metals are <strong>insulators</strong> - this means they do not conduct electricity and heat as well as metals - the electricity and the heat does not move through it quickly. &nbsp;This is why the copper wire in the electrical cord (which is a metal and a good conductor of electricity) is covered with plastic (an insulator) that you do not get shocked.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://imgoat.com/uploads/7177163c83/43788.jpg" width="304" height="166"/></p>

<ul>
  <li>Metals are mostly solid and strong where non-metals are soft and flexible like rubber.</li>
  <li>Metals are malleable and ductile where non-metals can be brittle like glass.</li>
  <li>Metals are shiny and non-metals are dull</li>
  <li>Metals feel cold if you touch it and non-metals are neither cold nor hot</li>
</ul>

A great science lesson plan about metals and non-metals.  I love the contrast and the facts you gave about both.  Thank-you so much!  Have a great weekend!!! :D

A lovely description of some basic chemistry concepts. Some nice images to go along with it to illustrate the difference between these two classes of elements. Good work.
