 Let the students read and explain the quotation “ The eye of a human being is a microscope, which
makes the world seem bigger that it really is”- Khalil Gibran

5. Presentation
 Introduce the topic of the day
 Define what microscope is
 Discuss the development and its historical of microscope
 discuss the different types of microscope
 explain the parts and function of compound microscope
 demonstrate the proper way of using compound microscope

B. Activity Proper
 Let the students draw the compound microscope in a short/Long bond Paper and let them label the
parts.

C. Assessment
 In a one whole piece of paper student will:
A. explain the importance of microscope ( 10 points)
B. arrange the following sentences on how to use the microscope properly. Use 1-6 number to show
your arrangement.

_________A. Turn off the power,lower the stage, remove your specimen and cover the equipment with a
dust- repellant cover.
_________B. Look through eyepiece
_________C. turn the nose piece turret until the shortest lens is above your sample.
_________D. reposition the slide as necessary to situate the area of desire study directly under your gaze.
_________E.Inspect the head. The head holds the optical elements, which include the eyepiece and
eyepiece tube, the nose piece, and the objective lenses.
_________F. Position your sample between 2 pieces of glass to make a slide.

D. Agreement
 Let the students bring the following materials for the next day experiment. (Materials can be found on
science 7 textbook page 106)
