Abstract | To improve the teaching and learning materials for a curriculum it is important to incorporate the findings from educational research. In light of this, we present creative exercises and experiments to elicit, confront and resolve misconceptions in geometrical optics. Since ray diagrams can be both the cause and the solution for many misconceptions we focus strongly on improving understanding of this tool to solve and understand optical phenomena. Through a combination of a conceptual understanding programme (CUP) and provocative exercises with ray diagrams we aim to elicit conceptual or cognitive conflict and exploit this to tackle misconceptions and increase students' conceptual understanding through inquiry. We describe exercises for image formation by a plane mirror, image formation by a convex lens and indirect and direct observation of a real image formed by a convex lens as examples of our approach.
