Topic/Title Light (Reflection/Refraction)

Grade Level 10
Time Allotment 60 minutes
Content Standard
The learner demonstrates understanding of the images formed by different types of mirrors and
lenses.
Performance Standards

Learning Competencies and Objectives

Predict the qualitative characteristics (orientation, type, and magnification) of images formed by
plane and curved mirrors and lenses (S10FE - IIG -50)

Identify ways in which the properties of mirrors and lenses determine their use in optical instruments
(e.g., cameras and binoculars) (S10FE - IIH -52)

Lesson Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to;
1. Describe light and its properties;
2. Discuss reflection and refraction of light;
3. Describe the different types of mirrors/lenses; and
4. Realize the multitudes of applications of mirrors and lenses in our daily lives.

ELICIT (5 minutes) MATERIALS

The teacher will ask the students the following questions regarding
the previous lesson.
1. What is electromagnetic radiation?
2. What are the different types of electromagnetic radiation?
3. Cite some applications of EM waves in our day-to-day
activities.
ENGAGE (5 minutes)
Activity: The Broken Pencil
The teacher will show the students a pencil dipped in a glass half- Clear glass half-filled with water
filled with water then ask the following questions: Pencil
1. What can you observe about the pencil?
2. Why do you think the pencil seems to be bent or broken
when dipped in a glass of water? Is it magic? Is it actually
broken? or is it science?
3. We have discussed last meeting about EM waves. Which
do you think among the EM waves is responsible for this
illusion?
EXPLORE (15 minutes)
The students will answer the following questions as they
manipulate the following simulations:
1. Move around the object in the first simulation. How would PhET Simulation
you describe the image formed by a plane mirror in terms Image Formations in Plane
of location, size and orientation? Mirrors
2. Open the second simulation. Set the protractor at the http://ophysics.com/l9.html
normal line. Make sure it’s centered. Turn on the laser
then set it at a 60-degree angle. The Bending Light
3. What have you observed about the path of light as it https://phet.colorado.edu/en/
travels from air to water? simulations/bending-light
4. Set the first material to water. How would you observe the
path of light?
 5. Again, change the first material to glass. How would you
observe the path of light as it travels through different
materials?
6. Based on your answer in Q2-Q5, how would you define
refraction of light?
EXPLAIN (10 minutes)
After doing the activity, selected students will be asked to present
their output in front of the class.
