A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on the difference between the properties of metals and non - metals for middle school plus an enjoyable yet challenging dominoes game which students can either match or answer the question. The teaching pack contains eighteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made.
