Teaching Outlines
Concept #Introduction to Optical Instruments
Learning objectives
- Define optics
- Explain how a compound microscope uses convex lenses to make an enlarged image of a tiny object.
- To generate ray diagrams to predict the positions and size of images in optical systems
- To understand how optical instrument work
- To understand the operation of reflecting telescope
- Uses of optical instruments

Project Ideas
- Projects about the types of lenses which can be identified easily and are used in day to day life
- To draw the ray diagram for the formation of image by a lens
- Identify the uses of lenses in day to day life: Divide the class into groups and list down all the ideas on a chart paper
