Teachers Strategy Students Activity

A. Introductions

“Let us pray first”

“John please lead the prayer” [One student will lead the prayer ]

“Good Morning Class, Are you good today?

Yes ma’am we are !
That’s Great!

[ Checking of attendance] [Students raise their hand and say present as

“Please say present if you are here !” the teacher calls in their name]

“Jassie Dianne! “ Present!

Reynan ! Present!
Very good! everyone is present !
“Let’s give ourselves a big big a round of Students give themselves a round of
applause!” applause
Please pick up the pieces of trash under
your chair !
Students picked up the pieces of paper/trash
“So , are you ready to sing and have fun
today?
“Okay I’ll sing first and you will repeat the
song after me.” Yes ma’am !

“oh it’s science time after all”

“oh it’s science time after all” Students will repeat the song

“oh it’s science time after all”

“oh it’s science time after all”

Thank you !

B. Review/Recall

Before we start! Let us have a recap about

what we have discussed yesterday?

expressing the concentration of the solutions

How do you express the concentration of a
solution quantitatively?
quantitatively by preparing different
concentrations of mixtures according to uses
and availability of materials.
“It can be expressed in several ways:
molarity (moles of solute per liter
of solution)”

”mole fraction, the ratio of the number of

moles of solute to the total number of moles
Very good ! of substances present;”

“I hope that everyone of you learned alot

from yesterdays’ discussion. “

C. Motivation

Present a Four Pics one word Game

Show a four similar pictures and let the
students guess .
“Do you already have an idea about the next
topic that we will about to discuss today?”
Students will try to analyze the picture with
the help of some clues written at the right
side of the picture.

“ Very Good!Let us explore microscope!” “Yes ma’am ! its about microscope”

D. Activity Proper

Microscope Parts & Functions

The branch of science that deals with the

study of life is know as BIOLOGY Students listening and taking down notes
 Tools to study life is the microscope
With the invention of the microsocope we
are able to understand life even better.
 Microscope- is a tool that provides an
enlarge image of an object. It allows you
to see things that cannot be seen by the
 unaided eyes. Student will read the definition of a
Some of the tiny objects or organism that microscope
can be seen using the microsocpe are the
following.

* Plant cells
*Animlas cells
*And microorganisms such as bacteria
*Viruses

Scientist are using the microscope in

understanding the structure of corona virus
to develop a vaccine to corona virus
disease/covid 19.

The science of investigating very tiny

organisms and small objects using
microscope called microscopy.

To understand how microscope works we

need to undertsand two terms :
Magnification and Resolution

Magnification- decribes how much larger

an object appears when viewed , if the the
object is small we can increase the
magnification and the structure will look
bigger, That is the magnifying power of
microscope.

Onion Cell

Students will see and compare the picture

showed

Resolution/Resolving Power -Capacity of

a microscopes to distinguish small gaps
between two separate points which human
cannot distinguish, it is used to see finer
details of an object.

Plant Cell

Students will see and compare the picture

showed

 Compound microscope -Optical

microscope - that uses visible light to
form an image
It uses glass lenses to magnify a resolve
images.
Why is it called compound microscope-
it uses two or more double convex lenses to
magnify the object. these two lenses can be
found in the eyepiece and the objectives of
the microscope

Three major parts base on their functions -

magnifying, illluminating , and
mechanical parts

A. Magnifying parts- make the specimen

looks bigger .
Specimen- is the object, part of the object
or an organism that we study or examine
under the microsocope.
Students will understand the parts and
First magnifying part : functions of the microscope
1. Eyepiece/ocular lens- where the viewer
looks and see the magnified image of the
specimen

2. Objective lenses - magnify specimen

under observation , these are the major
lenses used for specimen visualization.

A. Low power objective -10x

magnification, used to see the general outline
of specimen.
B. High power objective- 40x
magnification , views structure from a larger
perspective.
C. Oil immersion objective- 100x
magnification , the longest objective and use
to view bacteria, very small protist and fungi.
It requires the use of special oil.

B. Illuminating Parts
-Illuminate means to give light
-Supply and regulate light towards the
specimen

“ PLease read the three illuminating parts of

the microscope”

1. Mirror- reflect light from an external light

source out through the bottom of the stage Students will read
which illuminates the specimen
Light source can be in a form of natural
light just like the light of the sun , and
artificial light from a lamp.
2. Diaphragm - It is located under the stage
-controls the amount of light that reaches the
specimen
- it provides enough light in viewing the
specimen
3. Condenser- this parts collects and
focuses the light from the mirror to the
specimen.

C. Mechanical parts

-used for support and adjusting the different

parts of the microscope ,
1. Body tube or draw tube - holds the
eyepiece lens and connects them to the
objective lenses
2. Revolving nosepiece- holds the different
objective lens and facilitates the changing of
objectives.
3. Adjusting knobs
A. Coarse adjusting knob - It moves the
body tube and low power lenses closer or
farther away from the stage to view the
image of the specimen
- should only be used with low power
objectives because the mechanism of the
coarse adjustment knob produces a large
vertical movement of the stage with only a
partial revolution of the knob,
B. Fine adjusting knob-it is used to bring
the specimen into sharp focus to show clearly
the detailed parts of the specimen.

4. Stage- flat surface , where the mounted

slide is placed. A slide is where the specimen
is placed for observation
5. Stage clips - holds the specimen slides in
place.
6. Base- support of the whole microscope
7. Arm- It is the handle of the mircoscope in
carrying it
8. Inclination joint- connected the arm the
base
Body Tube, Revolving Nosepiece, Adjusting
“Enumerate the mechanical Parts of the Knobs, Stage, Stage clips, Base, Arm and
Microsocope” inclination joint

A. Care of a Microscope

1. Always carry the microscope with both

hands , one hand supports the base, the
other grasps the curve arm
2. When setting the microscope on the table
put it down greatly and keep it atleast 7
centimeters away from the edge of the table.
Keep everything not needed for mircrocope
studies off your laboratory table
3. Wipe with tissue paper or old t-shirt the
metal parts of the microscope
4. You can only tilt the microscope when you
are working with dry specimen
5. Tilting the mircroscope with liquid
specimens can cause liquid spill and flow in
to the metal parts
This can cause rusting which can damage the The students will answer according to the
function of the mircosocpe. given steps or instruction in handling the
microscope
“How can we handle the microscope
properly?”
D. APPLICATION

E. GENERALIZATION

Microscope -an optical instrument used for

viewing very small objects, such as mineral
samples or animal or plant cells, typically
magnified several hundred times. There are
three major parts of the microscope; the
Magnifying , illuminating and mechanical
parts.
