Title In-Post Class Activity Worksheet, Convex Lens, PhET
Description This is a 60 to 90 min. worksheet related to convex lenses with simulations activities. Students can observe, examine, explore and connect the simulations to the concept related to converging lenses and how the images are produced by placing an object in different distances from the lens. The students would have a better understanding of the convex lenses and the ray diagrams. They are able to change the diameter, refractive index, and curvature radius of the lens and observe the results.
