Look at your periodic table.

Colour any metals you see light blue

Colour anything that isn’t a metal red

Must know where the metals are in the periodic table

Should know how many elements are metals

Could know the properties of metals and non-metals

Metals areShiny and bright

High melting point (all solids except one)

Ring when hit (sonorous)

Tough and strong

Can be beaten into sheets (malleable)

Conduct heat and electricity

Can be pulled into wires (ductile)

Heavy

Usually dull

Light

Do not ring when hit (not sonorous)

Low melting point (mostly gases)

Poor conductors of heat and electricity

Cannot be drawn into wires (not ductile)

Cannot be beaten into sheets (not malleable)

Not tough and strong

Non-metals are
