Term 1 Week 7

Class and homework exercises on the tracing of ray diagrams for both a point object and a shaped object for an image in a mirror (2E1)

Pedagogy used:-

1. Teacher demonstration using visualiser and recap of previous learned concepts.

2. Time provided for the pupils to practise what they have learned and to share with their classmates the work that they have done through the visualiser

3. Pupils give comments to the completed work done by their classmates and learned whether their work is correct at the same time.

4. Further homework given to pupils to internalise the concepts and steps in the school-based designed workbooks.


Pupils' common mistakes made:-

1. drawing of the arrows from the eye to the image.

2. positioning of the image.

3. tracing of solid lines on the side of the mirror - should be dotted lines to show virtual rays and image

4. not using ruler to draw the rays

5. object and image size differs
