Teacher-Student Activities

A. Warm up Session Begin the lesson by recalling the various elements and how they are

classified as metals and non-metals on the basis of their properties. You

may ask the learners to list the metals and non-metals present in various

objects located in the classroom.

Teacher’s Notes Divide the class into two groups – Metals and Non-Metals. The groups have

to list the various metals and non-metals present in the classroom. The

learners may also state the uses of metals and non-metals.

B. Debate In this activity, the learners will hold a debate on the topic ‘Metals or Non-

metals.

D. Group Activity - 1 In this activity, the learners will be asked to arrange the metals in order of

their decreasing reactivity. They will also have to categorise these metals on

the basis of the reactivity as least reactive, moderately reactive and highly

reactive. Thereafter, the learners will have to describe the steps involved in

the extraction of metals for each category.

Teacher’s Notes Divide the class into three groups – A, B and C. Group A consists of 10

students, where they are randomly assigned the name of a metal of the

Activity Series. Ask the other groups (B and C) to arrange the

students/metals in order of the decreasing reactivity one by one.

After arranging the metals in the Activity Series, ask each group to

categorise the metals as least reactive, moderately reactive and highly

reactive.

After classifying the metals, ask each group to describe the steps involved

in the extraction of metals for each category.

essential for maintaining life. Note: Mention that the human body is mostly

made up of non-metals and it requires some metals in small quantities to

function properly.

Mention that metals are a non-renewable resource and hence they must be

judiciously extracted. Moreover, it is essential to recycle and reuse metals in

today’s world.
