Good morning, class!
 Good morning sir. Its nice to see you.
Thank you sir

4. Checking of Attendance

open your camera and turn it off
after.
Who is not present on this
meeting?
Is there anyone who I did not
in the meeting today?
None sir

5. Checking of Assignments
Class, do we have an
assignment
None, sir

b. Recall
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
You were able to define the properties
of metals and nonmetals, as well as
identify elements and compounds, in
Grade 7. In Grade 8, you learned
about the particles that matter is
made of by seeing frequent processes
such as evaporation, condensation,
boiling, and melting. You've also
learnt that the elements in the
Periodic Table of Elements are sorted
and categorized in a logical order.
Your understanding of matter is
always expanding.

Today I have prepared an activity

here. It is a bingo game. I will divide
the class into 4. Each group will
choose 2 representatives. Do you
agree class? Yes sir

So, here is the rule of the game. I will

provide a periodic table of element. In
a span of 1-minute cross all you
think are metals.
Did you get it? Yes, Sir.

Let us begin.

Possible Answers:
Lithium, Potassium, Magnesium,
Calcium, Iron, Aluminum, Gold,
Silver, Copper, Mercury, Zinc, Nickel
Answers may vary

Based on your answers, why does

We cross them out sir because of
you cross all those elements
their physical properties
State and uses sir

Very good! This time, let us now

proceed to our new topic

c. Motivation
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
Before we start discussing, I have
three photos here. I want everybody
to examine the picture whether it is a
metal or non-metal

Yes, sir.

(The student will look and observe

the picture presented)
What can you say about the picture
class

Very good! Based on your responses

and to the picture that we have
observe, we can conclude that all
metals are solid except for mercury
which is the only metal that is in
liquid state. So, anyone who can tell The first picture is soft sir
what topic we will discussed today? The second one is in liquid state
The third picture in hard state

Perfect!

Properties of Metals in terms of their

Structure

d. Lesson Proper
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
1. Pre-Activity:

Metals make up around two-thirds of

all elements and nearly a quarter of the
planet's mass. Steel constructions,
copper cables, aluminum foil, and gold
jewelry are all examples of them.
Because of their features such as
strength, ductility, high melting point,
thermal and electrical conductivity,
and toughness, metals are frequently
employed. Metal structure can also be
deduced from these features. Metals,
like all other elements, are made up of
atoms. The strength of metals shows
that strong bonds hold these atoms
together. Metals cannot be hammered
into sheets or pulled into wires unless
these linkages allow atoms to move. A
paradigm in which atoms are kept
together by strong but delocalized
bonds would be feasible.

Look closer to this picture. What would

be the possible structure of the iron
rod?

Sir the atoms inside that iron rod is

fixed. Particles cannot move away.
metallic bond is therefore strong
and uniform
Very good!
How about this one?

That is not a metal sir. Atoms of

metals are intact that is why they
are solid

Okay class. That picture is a mercury.

It is the only metal that is in liquid
state at a room temperature and all
other metals are solid in a room
temperature.

Okay, last picture.

Ahm that’s a copper sir.

Very good. Copper is still solid but they

are flexible. What would be it mean in
their atom structure? Maybe it means that their atoms
are not that intact sir

Yes. That’s right. It is the reason

why we commonly see this kind of
metal in electrical wirings.

To fully understand the structure of

metals based on their chemical
bonding, I will divide the group into Yes sir.
3.

Instruction:
For group 1 imagine how is the
atom inside an iron rod are
arrange. Show it through a
drawing.

For group 2 imagine how is the

atom inside a mercury are arrange.
Show it through a drawing.

For group 3 using pebbles show the

arrangement of the atoms inside a
copper metal.
