Mo6-L1a: The Properties of Materials Mo6-L1b: Metals and Non-Metals

A conductor is a material that allows for heat to
easily pass through it (thermal conductor) or Mo6-L1b Metals and Non-Metals
conducts electricity well (electrical conductor).
KEY CONCEPTS:
1. What are the physical properties of metals?
2. What are the physical properties of non-metals?
3. How do we use certain metals?

Vocabulary A-Z

Let us learn some vocabulary

metals
a material that conducts electricity and heat well.

Non-metals

Key Concept are good insulators of heat and electricity.

The Properties of Materials
What is the difference between strength and
hardness?

Coal Sulfur

alloy
a metal made by combining two or more metallic
elements

SUMMARY

The Properties of Materials
We use physical properties to describe or
classify matter.

We choose materials based on their physical
properties to make products.
