Standard:
1c Students know metals have properties in common, such as high electrical and thermal conductivity. Some metals, such as aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and gold (Au), are pure elements; others, such as steel and brass, are composed of a combination of elemental metals.
Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
| Pages 37-42 in the "Mixtures and Solutions" Science Stories provide in-depth coverage of this standard. In terms of physical properties of metals, the California Science Standards specify only high electrical and thermal conductivity of metals. The California Science Framework also mentions properties of shiny (reflect light), malleable (bend under pressure), and ductile (not brittle). |
Aspects that help student learning:
Text is engaging and addresses the standard. Pictures and descriptions of different elemental metals and alloys illustrate the standard.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
There are no activities involving metals and their physical properties. As recommended in the California Science Framework, it would be helpful for students to examine samples of different metals and alloys.
