Recall the name of the gas in the air that reacts with metals most easily. Name some metals that are unreactive in air. Write word equations for the reactions of metals in the air. Explain the meanings of the words tarnish, oxidise and corrode.
 * Outcomes (what you will be able to do by the end of this lesson) **


 * Starter **
 * Complete and mark the quick quiz
 * Traffic light the first column on your target sheet (red = I can't do this, yellow = I can do this a little, but I'm not sure, green = I can confidently answer questions on this)


 * Activities **
 * 1) Watch the video on how metal tarnishes
 * 2) Discuss what the term corrosion means. Write a definition in your exercise book. Investigate the [[file:ES9_CHAP_Fa2.pdf|Corrosion of metals]]. Record the results in your exercise book.
 * 3) Complete Q1-7 from p68-9 of Exploring Science 9
 * 4) Apply your knowledge, complete [[file:ES9_CHAP_Fa7.pdf|Which metal is best?]]
 * 5) Extension: How does the melting point of metal relate to when it was discovered? Read and answer the questions on [[file:ES9_CHAP_Fa10.pdf|Metal Oxides: Looking for patterns]]


 * Summary **
