answer
Teacher:
1.What do you
observe?
2 Compare the
size of the
writing and its
image. Is the
image,bigger,
smaller or the
same size?
Vocabulary
A student is able
to:
Draw ray
diagrams to show
the position and
characteristics of
the images
formed by a
convex lens

c)Ray 3 towards focal point ,F and refracts parallel
to the principal axis .
d)The point of intersection is the position of the
image.

EXPLORATION
(i) Teacher instruct students to form 5 groups.
Select a leader in each group.
Each group will be given a worksheet to complete.

Students start drawing as

instructed by teacher
Refer to
worksheet 1 and
worksheet 2
EXTENTION
Teacher asks the class a question to reinforce the
lesson. Student still sit in group
Teacher:
Can anyone of you come in
front and explain to us how to
see a tiny object by using
magnifying glass. One minutes
to think!
EVALUATION
Teacher distributes a handout to each student to
complete.
