NGSS.HS-PS1-1

Capable of being hammered out thin, as certain metals; capable of being drawn out into wire or threads.

• malleable
• combustible
• ductile
• fragile

An electrically neutral (has no charge) subatomic particle that is a part of the nucleus of all atoms.

NGSS.HS-PS1-2

A measure of the quantity of a physical property (usually mass) per unit length, area, or volume; compactness; quality of being dense

• circumference
• volume

NGSS.MS-PS1-4

An element that is not a metal but that has some properties of metals. They have the appearance of a metal, but may be poor conductor of electricity (semiconductors)

• metalloid
• nonmetal
• alkali metal
• heavy metal

Having a tendency to break when subject to high stress

• flexible
• malleable
• ductile
• brittle

A class of elements that are not able to conduct electricity or heat very well. As opposed to metals, these elements are very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets.
