Grade: V                                              Subject: General Science  Topic: Metals and Non-Metals      Time: 45 minutes                              

Student Learning Outcomes 

At the end of this session students will be able to:

-Know about the metal and non-metal

-Differentiate between the metal and non-metal

Required Material

-Board, marker, duster, Book, worksheet, wire, metallic pot, metallic spoon, metallic ring, pencil lead, coal, body spray, balloon

Motivational Activity (6 minutes)

-Teacher will ask students to observe the things on the table(Teacher will set these things on table earlier, like, wire, metallic pot, metallic spoon, metallic ring, pencil lead, coal, body spray and balloon) and tell what are they and why we use them?

Introductory Activity (12 minutes)

-Teacher will provide 2 material(related to metal and non-metal that were previously on table) and ask students to observe them and write few physical properties of these material

-While students will be working in groups, teacher will check in and ask probing questions like, how this looks like? Is it shiny or not? etc.

-Then, teacher will make two columns on board and get the responses from students and write them in columns

-Through the students responses, teacher will introduce the topic

Activity 1 (15 minutes)

-Teacher will explain the metals and non-metals by the use of everyday material. Teacher will ask students about the examples of metals and non-metals

-Teacher will also describe the properties of metals and non-metals. Teacher will also engage students by asking questions like, What do you think non-metals have luster or not? Do non-metals conduct electricity? Etc. 

Assessment Activity (10 minutes)

-To check the understanding of the students, teacher will do questioning. Questions are as follows:

-What are the metals?

-What are the non-metals?

-Which are the major properties of metals and non-metals?

-How can you differentiate between the metal and non-metal?

Conclusion (2 minutes)

-Teacher will conclude the session with the help of the students
