7Es LESSON PLAN in SCIENCE 10

Inquiry-Based and Contextualized Teaching approach

Topic: Reflection of Light in Mirrors
CODE: S1OFE-11g-51
Time 1Hour (1:15-2:15)
allotment:
Rationale: This lesson addresses on the difficulty of the students to connect the concepts on how images
formed by the different types of mirrors and lenses.
Prerequisite Reflection of Light in Mirrors
knowledge
and skill:
Learning K-12 CG for Science 10, Teacher’s Guide, Learner’s Material, You and the Natural World
Resources: Textbook, Laptop, PPT, presentation, Pictures, Illustrations.
Learning Apply ray diagramming techniques in describing the characteristics and positions of images formed by
Competency mirrors and lenses.
and Objective Subtask: construct ray diagrams to determine the location, orientation, size and type (L-O-S-T) of
images formed by convex mirrors.
S10FE-IIg-51
ELICIT Learners will be introduced to some terms/words. Then let them identify the types of mirrors using
some pictures.
ENGAGE A picture will be shown to the learners:

Process question:

1. Have you seen your image on the two sides of clear spoon?
2. What do you notice about your image on each of the two sides of the spoon?
3. How will you compare your image from the two sides of the spoon?
EXPLORE ACTIVITY 1: The principal rays (Source: Test Item bank for science10)
Learners well identify the types of principal rays.
ACTIVITY 2: Short answer test (Source: Test Item bank for science 10)
Learners will describe the steps in locating an image.
ACTIVITY 3: Are you L-O-S-T? (Source: Test Item bank for science 10)
Learners will identify the location of the object through ray diagramming.

EXPLAIN Have the learners post their outputs on the board and have one member of each group to present the
output.
Key question:
1. How is person’s image produced by a convex mirror?
2. What are the qualitative characteristics of images formed by convex mirrors?
ELABORATE The class will be directed to read the Key Concepts.
 Questions will be asked to deepen the discussion;
Why are some images formed by reflections better than the others?
How would you apply the ray diagramming method in describing the characteristics and positions of
images formed by convex mirrors?
EVALUATE DIRECTIONS: Construct ray diagrams to determine the location, orientation, size, and type of images
formed by convex mirrors to the following cases. (Source: Test Item bank science 10).
