Subject: Science

Grade Level: Grade 10

Objective:

- Describe the characteristics of images formed by concave lenses.

- Explain why images formed by concave lenses are always virtual and reduced in
size.

- Appreciate the importance of understanding image formation in concave lenses for

various applications.

- Show respect for the safety precautions when working with lenses.

- Demonstrate the ability to draw ray diagrams to predict the position.

Learning across curriculum:

1) Mathematics - Understanding the properties of concave lenses can be related to

the concept of negative numbers in mathematics. Both involve the idea of "opposite"
or "reversal" in some way.

2) Technology and Design - The understanding of image formation in concave

lenses is crucial in designing optical devices such as cameras, telescopes, and
microscopes.

3) Language Arts - The ability to describe the characteristics of images formed by

concave lenses requires effective communication skills, which are essential in
language arts.

ELICIT:

Teaching Strategy: Brainstorming

Instructional Materials: None

Anecdote 1: In Filipino culture, the use of eyeglasses is common. Discuss how

eyeglasses correct vision problems and how concave lenses play a role in this.
Anecdote 2: Share a story about a famous Filipino scientist who made significant
contributions to the field of optics and how their work relates to concave lenses.

ENGAGE:

Teaching Strategy: Interactive Quizzes

Instructional Materials: Interactive quiz software

1) Idea: Conduct a quiz where students will answer questions related to the
characteristics of images formed by concave lenses. Use the interactive quiz
software to make it engaging and competitive.

2) Idea: Play a game of "Mystery Box" where students will guess the object inside
the box by observing its image formed by a concave lens. This will pique their
curiosity and encourage active participation.

EXPLORE:

Activity 1: Exploring Image Formation

Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning

Materials: Concave lens, light source, screen, object (e.g., pencil)

Significance: This activity allows students to observe and analyze the

characteristics of images formed by concave lenses.

Instructions:

1) Set up the materials as follows: Place the concave lens between the object and
the screen. Position the light source so that it shines through the concave lens onto
the object.

2) Ask the students to observe the image formed on the screen and describe its
characteristics.

3) Guide the students to explore different positions of the object and the lens to
understand how they affect the image formation.
Rubric:

- Accuracy of description: 5 pts

- Understanding of how object and lens positions affect image formation: 5 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) What are the characteristics of the image formed by a concave lens?

2) How does changing the position of the object affect the image formed by a
concave lens?

3) How does changing the position of the concave lens affect the image formed?

Activity 2: Drawing Ray Diagrams

Teaching Strategy: Visual Aids

Materials: Paper, pencil, ruler

Significance: This activity helps students develop the ability to draw ray diagrams to
predict the position of the image formed by a concave lens.

Instructions:

1) Provide the students with a set of scenarios involving different object and lens
positions.

2) Instruct them to draw ray diagrams to predict the position of the image formed in
each scenario.

3) Guide the students in analyzing the ray diagrams and discussing their predictions.

Rubric:

- Accuracy of ray diagrams: 5 pts

- Correct prediction of image position: 5 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) What are ray diagrams, and why are they useful in predicting the position of
images formed by concave lenses?

2) Draw a ray diagram for a scenario where the object is placed beyond the focal
point of a concave lens. Predict the position of the image.

EXPLAIN:

Teaching Strategy: Lecture

Explain the concepts of concave lenses, image formation, virtual images, and the
reduction in size of images formed by concave lenses. Use visual aids, diagrams,
and examples to enhance understanding. Encourage student participation by asking
questions and checking for understanding throughout the lecture.

ELABORATE:

Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning

Task 1: Research and Presentation

Task: Divide the students into groups and assign each group a specific application
of concave lenses (e.g., eyeglasses, cameras, telescopes). Instruct them to research
and prepare a presentation showcasing the importance of understanding image
formation in concave lenses for their assigned application. Encourage creativity and
use of visual aids in their presentations.

Task 2: Role-Playing

Task: Have the students participate in a role-playing activity where they act as
optometrists and patients. The optometrists will use their knowledge of concave
lenses to prescribe appropriate eyeglasses for the patients based on their vision
problems. This activity allows students to apply their understanding of image
formation and the use of concave lenses in real-life situations.

EVALUATE:
Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning

Instructional Materials: Assessment sheets, pencils

Question 1: Explain why images formed by concave lenses are always virtual and
reduced in size.

Question 2: Discuss the importance of understanding image formation in concave

lenses in designing optical devices.

Question 3: Describe the safety precautions that should be followed when working
with concave lenses.

Use the rubric below to assess the students' answers:

- Accuracy and clarity of explanation: 5 pts

- Depth of understanding: 5 pts

EXTEND:

Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning

Instructional Materials: Project guidelines, materials for project implementation

Task 1: Designing an Optical Device

Task: Challenge the students to design and create their own optical device using
concave lenses. They should explain the purpose and function of their device, as
well as how it utilizes the characteristics of concave lenses. This project encourages
creativity, critical thinking, and practical application of the concepts learned.

Task 2: Research on Optics in Nature

Task: Instruct the students to research and present on the different ways optics and
image formation occur in nature. They should explore examples such as animal
eyes, insect vision, or natural phenomena related to light and lenses. This task
promotes curiosity, research skills, and a deeper understanding of the topic.

Assignment:

Assignment 1: Virtual Field Trip

Guiding Overview: Instruct the students to take a virtual field trip to a museum or
science center where they can explore exhibits related to optics and image
formation. They should write a reflection paper discussing their observations and
how it relates to the concepts learned in class.

Assignment 2: Concept Mapping

Guiding Overview: Assign the students to create a concept map illustrating the
relationships between concave lenses, image formation, virtual images, and
reduction in size. They should include key terms, definitions, and examples to
demonstrate their understanding of the topic.
