| Title | Images from Convex Lenses (Inquiry Based) |
| Description | This is an inquiry based activity that I used with a traditional double convex lab. We used lenses to project images and the used the activity to make sense of the observations. Learning Goals: Students will be able to explain:How a converging lens makes images. How changing the lens effects where the image appears and how it looks The clicker questions include some concepts about plane mirrors. |
