Rico - Final Module - Classification of Metals
Define metals and differentiate them from other elements on the periodic table.
Explain the basis for different metal classifications, including:
o Ferrous vs. non-ferrous metals
o Brittle vs. ductile metals
o Refractory metals
o White metals
o Heavy vs. light metals
o Base, noble, and precious metals
Identify common examples of metals within each classification.
Analyze the relationship between a metal's properties and its classification, understanding
how its characteristics influence its uses and applications.
Apply your knowledge to real-world scenarios, such as choosing the right metal for a specific
task based on its classification and properties
II. Introduction
Metals are all around us, from the steel in our buildings to the aluminum in our soda
cans. But did you know that not all metals are created equal? They can be grouped into
different categories based on their physical and chemical properties, each with its own unique
characteristics and applications.
This lesson will delve into the fascinating world of metal classification, exploring the
various systems used to organize these versatile elements. We'll uncover the secrets behind
ferrous and non-ferrous metals, the strength of brittle and ductile metals, the heat resistance
of refractory metals, and the fascinating world of white, heavy, and light metals. We'll also
explore the value-driven classifications of base, noble, and precious metals, understanding
why some metals are considered more valuable than others.
Step 1. Write brief statements in the second column (KNOW) about what you know
of the topics listed in the first column.

Step 2. Form a group where you can share and discuss what you have written in the
second column. Afterwards, fill-out the third column (WANT).
Step 3. After the group sharing, fill-out the fourth column (LEARNED) with what
you have learned after the group sharing.
