I usually get students to do this lesson after completing a practical circus/investigation into metals properties. Dingbats starter. Answers: copper, mercury, tungstem/tungsten, (I know I cheated!) iron and potassium. Mind map to be copied into books. The passport control I get students to act out i More…n pairs at the end of the lesson.I usually finish off by showing youtubes of exceptions to the rules, such as a canon ball floating on mercury - a liquid, but still dense.
