PERFORMANCE TASK IN SCIENCE 7
D.I.Y. MICROSCOPE
OBJECTIVE: AT THE END OF THIS ACTIVITY, THE LEARNERS ARE EXPECTED TO:

1.EMPLOY APPROPRIATE TECHNIQUES USING THE COMPOUND MICROSCOPE TO GATHER

DATA ABOUT VERY SMALL OBJECTS.
2.CREATE A DO-IT-YOURSELF (D.I.Y.) MICROSCOPE AND USE IT TO PRACTICE
FOCUSING SPECIMEN AT HOME.
NOTE: HUMINGI NG PATNUBAY NG NAKAKATANDA SA PAGGANAP NG GAWAING ITO.
MATERIALS:
PLASTIC BOTTLE OR GALONAN NA FLAT.
CARTON
PROCEDURE:
1. CUT THE SIDE OF THE PLASTIC BOTTLE OR
GALONAN LIKE IN THE PICTURE.
NOTE: PLEASE SEEK AN ADULT SUPERVISION
WHEN DOING THIS ACTIVITY.
2. ROLL THE CARTON AND INSERT IT IN THE
OPENING OF THE GALONAN.
3. CUT A SQUARE SHAPE CARTON FOR THE STAGE
OF YOUR DIY MICROSCOPE.
4. YOU CAN ADD OTHER PARTS TO MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE A REAL MICROSCOPE.
5. YOU CAN NOW USE THE DIY MICROSCOPE IN
PRACTICING HOW TO VIEW SPECIMENS INSIDE
THE MICROCOPE.
ANSWWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.
1. USING YOUR DIY MICROSCOPE, TRY TO LOOK
FOR SAMPLE SPECIMENS INSIDE. HOW ARE
GOING TO VIEW THE SPECIMEN, WITH TWO
EYES OPEN OR ONLY THE EYE VIEWING THE
SPECIMEN THAT IS OPEN? WHY?

II. Direction: Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if
the statement is incorrect. Write your answers on the space after the number.

_________________1. The letter “e” is inverted under the microscope.

_________________2. The image is larger or is enlarged as compared to the one using the eyes only.
_________________3. Objectives are of different lengths. This is done to avoid accidental crashing of the
objectives into the side and breakage of objective lens, glass slide or cover slip.
_________________4. It is not good to tilt the microscope while viewing a wet mount. It might cause water to spill
and flow into its mechanical parts. This will cause its parts to rust.
_________________5. The HPO is longer and can easily crash into the cover slip and glass slide.
_________________6. The advantage of using the HPO are the image is greatly magnified, details of the letter or
cell structure can be observed. Disadvantages include reduced field of view and the whole letter or structure cannot
be observed.
_________________7. The microscope makes one see objects that are not seen by just using the eyes. It enables one
to see enlarged images of specimens such as cells for a thorough study of their structure and thus, infer their
function.
