Instructional Ideas

  • Pass around samples of as many metals as possible and ask the class to record and compare their observations

Classroom Considerations

  • Plan a little extra time for the assessment, as it is quite lengthy
  • Consider providing additional front-end instruction covering the transition metals and how their chemistry compares to that of aluminum or sodium

Pros

  • The activities are interesting and impactful
  • All printable materials are available in the teacher's guide

Cons

  • None
