by placing it in a electric circuit. also place a small lightbulb in the circiut. if current passes through the circuit and the lightbulb lights up,this will prove that aluminimis a good conductor , which, this property is common to all meta'ls

Hit a friend, loved one, or total stranger, round the head with wood, plastic, steel, and finally aluminium. We shall refer to wood as (a), plastic as (b), steel as (c), and aluminium as (d). Now we already know that (c) is in fact a metal, so were cheating a little, but we need compare the (i.s.) or "impact screams" to judge for ourselves if infact this "rogue matter" or (d) is a metal, a wood, or a plastic. If we replay the old ladies (i.s.) note the simalarities between scream 2 which involved (b), and scream 4 which involved (d).
Therefore, is fair to say aluminium can be shown as a METAL.

Pure aluminium, position in the periodic table, valency (3+), lustre, thermal & electrical conductivites, maliability, and how ductile the element is.
Only as a component of commercial magnets ie."Alnico IV H" 12% is aluminium magnetic.

1) Metallic bonding
2) Position on periodic table
3) Metal oxides are basic (can form alkali's in solution) so it is not hard to make alkaline solution out of a metal. Acids are always made out of non-metals
You can check to see if you have a base by reacting it with an acid (if your react a base and an acid together it will produce a salt of the metal of the base and something else depending on what was in the acid.

all metal react with an acid to form basic oxides...
get a tin stripe of aluminium and dip it into a dilute acid e.g HCl...then after some time test the solution with a universal indicator...base identification should be observed.

A property of a metal is that it forms cations, i.e. positively charged ions in solution. Aluminium does form salts with acids, e.g. aluminium chloride, AlCl3
However, aluminium is amphoteric, i.e. it also forms salts with alkalis and appears in the anion, e.g. AlNaO2

The location of Aluminum in the periodic table shows it's in the metals group.

10 Al + 6 NH4ClO4 ----> 4 Al2O3 + 2 AlCl3 + 12 H2O + 3 N2 This is correctly balanced. This is same chemical composition they use in Space Shuttle solid booster rockets.

It is shiny, has good thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and can be bent, beaten into a foil, drawn as wire etc., all properties of metals.

It is in the section of the periodic table that is considered to be a metal. That should be all the proof you need.
