Students had previously learned how light behaves as it interacts with plane and curved mirrors using ray boxes and mirrors. I created a guided inquiry investigation regarding how light behaves as it passes through lenses. The students worked in groups and were given the problem and materials with diagrams showing the two different lenses. They had to create a hypothesis, a procedure, observations in the form of diagrams, and a conclusion based on their findings.
