DLP No.29 Learning Area: SCIENCE Grade Level: Quarter: 1 Duration: 1 hour
Learning
Competency/ies Describe some properties of metals and non-metals such as luster, Code: S7MT-Ij-7
malleability, ductility, and conductivity.
Key Concepts/
Understanding to be  Metals are opaque, lustrous, malleable, ductile and magnetic elements.
Developed:  Nonmetals are elements that are not malleable, not ductile, no metallic luster and brittle
easily.
1. Objectives

Knowledge Classify materials into metals and non-metals.

Skills Differentiate metals from non-metals.

Attitudes Practice good decision making in classifying materials.

Values Display civic consciousness of metal and non-metals in everyday life.

4. Procedures
4.1. Preliminary A. Opening Prayer
Activity B. Checking of attendance
(suggested activity) C. Review of the past lesson (if any.)
(5 minutes)

4.2. Activity The teacher will show to the class some materials and let them group the materials into two.
(20 minutes) (materials include plastic cap, nails, copper wire, wood, rubber, aluminium)

Plastic cap Nails Copper wire

Wood Rubber Aluminium

Say:
What is your basis of classifying the materials?
Possible answer : If the materials are metals and non-metals
4.3. Analysis Processing of students’ responses. Ask the following questions:
(11 minutes) 1. What are metals?
Metals are materials that when freshly prepared, polished or fractured shows a lustrous
appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well.
2. What are non-metals?
Non-metals are chemical element that lacks the characteristics of a metal.
 METALS AND NONMETALS
Elements are the simplest form of substances. This means that whatever you do with an
element, it remains to be the same element. Its physical state may change but the identity of the
element will not. It may form compounds with other elements but the element will never form
anything simpler than it already is.
Metals are materials that when freshly prepared, polished or fractured shows a lustrous
appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. Non-metals are chemical element that
lacks the characteristics

3. What are the properties of metals?

Luster, Malleable, Ductile, and magnetic
4. What is a luster?
Luster is a property of metal which exhibits shininess of a material.
5. What is ductile?
Ductile is a property of metals which can be drawn into thin wires and is mainly useful in
electrical wires.
6. What is malleable?
Malleable a property of metal that is capable of being stretched or bent into different
shapes without breaking.
7. What is magnetic?
Magnetic a property that allows metals to be attracted by a magnet.

Properties of Metals
Perhaps, you have been identifying a metal based on its appearance. Most of the time, metals
are shiny. They exhibit a luster which is the reason that they are used as decorations.

Many metals are ductile. This means that metals can be drawn into wires. An example is
copper. The ductility of copper makes it very useful as electrical wires. Gold is also a metal that is
ductile; however, it is rarely used as an electrical wire.

Some metals are malleable. This means that they can be hammered or rolled into thin sheets
without breaking. An example is aluminum. It is passed into mills and rolled thinly to produce the
aluminum foil used to wrap food. Most soda cans are made of aluminum, too.
Some metals are magnetic. This means that they are attracted by a magnet. The common
ones are iron, nickel and cobalt.

The general properties of metals are luster, ductility, malleability and magnetic properties. Metals
exhibit these properties in varying degrees.

4.4. Abstraction: The teacher will ask:

(11 minutes) How do the following properties of metals useful to us?
 Luster – use as decoration
 Malleable – use to wrap food or some of canned goods
 Ductile – use as an electrical wires
 Magnetic – use in making gadgets

4.5. Application: Jigsaw Puzzle: The teacher will group the students into 4.
(5 minutes) Say;
1. Choose a group leader, scribe, reporter and resource manager. The group leader facilitates the
activity, the scribe writes all the needed information in a manila paper and the resource manager
checks all the materials. The reporter will report in front about their output.
2. Each group will be assigned to discuss on a particular property of metal (luster, malleable,
magnetic and ductile) in 5 minutes (mother group).
3. After discussion in the mother group, each member will distribute to the rest of the group ( foster
group) and discuss their expertise to the other members in 10 minutes.
4. Then they will go back to their mother group and share what they have learned from other group
in 5 minutes.
