Why does a raindrop on a window pane show an image of the environment
that is turned upside-down? And why does vision go blurry underwater, but
is perfectly clear with diving goggles? Our everyday life is rich in optical
phenomena. Unfortunately, these phenomena often play a subordinate role in
Optics teaching, compared to ray constructions or mechanistic light models.
In our new teaching-learning sequence designed for introductory physics
courses at secondary schools, the observation of the phenomena assumes a
more prominent position and the observer’s sense of sight becomes the
starting point of learning about Optics. The centrepiece of our concept is the
use of students’ self-made Optics inventory including liquid lenses in various
experiments.
