This re-design of physics learning chapter optical instruments for senior high school level is designed based on the analysis of students responses to the competency domain of scientific literacy, the aspects of this domain are explaining scientific phenomena (K1), evaluating and designing scientific research (K2) and interpreting data and scientific evidence (K3). The results of the study from the samples showed indications of difficulties in the domain of competence in aspects K2 and K3 so that competency could not be achieved properly. The Marzano-s Learning Dimension (MLD) can build positive attitudes and perspectives both in the formation, refinement, and application of knowledge to produce Habits of Mind (productive thinking habits). In order for better learning interaction process, students need to be given sufficient knowledge through the use of reading infusion strategies. In order to practice scientific literacy competencies, it is necessary to build an investigation through contextual experimental activities, therefore in this optical instrument chapter, several experiments are built which are about determining the strength of eyeglass lenses, making simple projectors and making simple microscope designs.
