| (a) |
Investigate to determine how light interacts with transparent, translucent, and opaque materials. |
| (b) |
Investigate to determine how light interacts with concave and convex mirrors and lenses, including the formation of real and virtual images. |
| (c) |
Predict and verify the effects of changes in lens position on the size and location of images produced by a convex lens and/or mirror. |
| (d) |
Receive, understand, and act on the ideas of others when trying other lenses or mirror combinations to obtain various light patterns. |
| (e) |
Draw geometric ray diagrams to illustrate how light travels within optical devices such as pin-hole cameras, single lens reflex cameras, telescopes, microscopes, and periscopes. |
| (f) |
Use a technological problem-solving process to design and construct a prototype of an optical device to address a student-defined problem based on findings related to an understanding of geometric optics. |
| (g) |
Work collaboratively and safely with others to identify and correct practical problems in the way a prototype of an optical device functions. |
| (h) |
Provide examples of optics-related technologies that have enabled scientific research (e.g., lasers have enabled research in the fields of medicine and electronics; microscopes have enabled research in medicine, forensics, and microbiology; and fibre optics and the endoscope has facilitated medical research). |
