1. The use of mirrors

Differentiate between a real image and a virtual image
Communicate about the characteristics of image formed by a plane mirror, concave mirror and convex mirror
State that the object distance is equal to the image distance in a plane mirror
Use the plane mirror to apply the concept of reflection of light
Justify the application of concave mirror and convex mirror in daily life
Construct an optical instruments to appreciate the use these of optical instruments to enhance the ability of the human senses
Solve problems in daily life involving the application of plane mirror, concave mirror and convex mirror

2. Properties of light

3. Reflection of light

4. Refraction of light

Generalise that refraction occurs when light moves through medium of different densities
Draw ray diagrams to show refraction of light when light propagate from one medium to another medium of different densitie
Generalise the relationship between the angle of incidence, i and angle of refraction, r, when light travels from a medium of low density to a medium of high density
Justify the applications of refraction of light in daily life

5. Dispersion of light

6. Scattering of light

7. Addition and subtraction of light

Identify primary colours
Identify the addition of primary colours to produce secondary colours
Communicate about subtraction of light
Record the colours formed on the screen when light apsses through colour filters
Differentiate the addition and subtraction of light
Explain with examples addition and substraction of light in daily life
