V. PROCEDURES Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity
A. Reviewing previous
lesson or presenting the “Before we start our lesson today, I want us to have a
new lesson short activity first for you to have a glimpse of what we
ELICIT are going to tackle.”

“Are you ready?” “Yes Ma’am.”

“I have here 10 colored strips of paper with parts of the

microscope written on it. And another colored strip of
paper pasted on the board. What you are going to do is,
you will match each part of the microscope written in the “Yes Ma’am.”
colored strips to what functional part they belong to. If
you think that the part belongs to Mechanical Part then
you will place the colored strip there, so on and so forth.
Is that clear?”

“Anyone can participate. Let’s start, are all ready?” “Yes Ma’am.”

“So, who will go first?” “Me Ma’am.”

(Students raises hand to
participate.)
 MECHANICAL OPTICAL

check how you placed each part.”

“Okay so, wow, you placed all the parts correctly. It

seems that you already know each part of the
microscope’s major function.” (Students claps.)
“Very good everyone. Give yourselves a round of
applause.”

“Based on this motivational activity, you now have an

idea that the parts that belongs to the mechanical parts
are the arm, base, body tube, stage, coarse and fine
adjustment knobs. The magnifying parts are the
eyepiece, and objective lenses. And the illuminating
parts are the mirror, and the iris diaphragm.”

B. Establishing a purpose
for the lesson “Now that you have an idea about the major parts of the
ENGAGE microscope according to its function. Let’s have another
activity so that you will know where each part is in the
microscope.”

“Are you ready?” “Yes Ma’am.”

“To do this activity, I will divide you into two groups.

This group will be group 1, and this is the group 2.”

“I will give each groups envelope. The envelopes contain (The groups receive the
printed picture of a compound microscope, crayons, envelopes.)
color guide, cartolina, pentel pen/marker, scotch tape,
and scissors.”

“What you are going to do is, you will color the parts of
the microscope according to the color guide. After that
provide the function of the parts on your own words. The
 parts that you will give definition is already pasted on
the cartolina.” “Yes Ma’am.”
“Is my instruction clear?”

“You can divide the task among your group members.

One group can do the coloring task and the other group
can work on the function. So that all members will have
participation.”

“The first group to finish and post their work will have a (Students work with
prize.” their groupmates.)
“You can now start working with your groups.” (Group _____ posted
their work on the
board.)
“We now have a group who already finished the activity,
and that is group ______.” (Group ___ presented
their work.)
“Since group ____ finished first, let’s have group _____
to present their work to the class.”

“Very good group ___. You did a great job. And also,
group ___, you also did a wonderful job.” (Students claps.)
“Let’s give ourselves another rounds of applause.”
C. Presenting examples/
instances of the new “The activity that you had was about the microscope and
lesson their parts. And you also gave functions to some of the
EXPLORE parts. Now, we will go through it and tackle the parts and
its function.”

“I want you to look at this picture and tell me do you

see”
(Present the pictures to the students.)

“What do you see on the picture? What do think are “Ma’am the pictures are
they? Anyone?” an image of a bacteria,
virus, and a plant cell.”
(A student answered)

“Very good. That is correct. What you see is a picture of

bacteria, virus, and a plant cell. These are small
organisms that can’t be seen by the naked eye.”

“So how do you see or how can we see these very small “Ma’am through using a
things or organisms?” microscope.”
(A student answered.)

“That is correct. To see these very small organisms we

need to use a microscope since it has the ability to
magnify even the deeper structure of the organism.”

D. Discussing new
concepts and “To start with our lesson, I want to ask you a question. “Ma’am a microscope is
practicing new skills #1 Do you know what a microscope is? Can you describe to a tool so that we can see
EXPLAIN me what a microscope is?” organisms or things that
can’t be seen by the
naked eye.”
(A student answered.)

“Correct. Microscope is an optical tool that magnifies

 image of an object that are too small to be seen by the
unaided eye. The microscope allows the viewers or
observers to have a closer view of the structure of an
object or specimen in a slide.”

“And the simplest type of a microscope is a light

microscope as it uses the properties of light to produce
an enlarged image.”

(Show the compound microscope to the whole class.)

“The microscope you’re seeing right now is a compound

microscope which is categorized based on the simplicity
of microscope. And the other one is the simple
microscope which uses only one or uses a single lens.
The example for this is the simple microscope developed
by Anton van Leeuwenhoek which is a single – lens
microscope.”

“Yes Ma’am.”
“Have you already seen a magnifying glass?”

“So, another familiar example of the simple microscope

is the magnifying glass.”

“Now, going back, the simple microscope uses single

lens, while the compound microscope uses two or more
lenses to magnify the image of an object.”

E. Discussing new
concepts and “The compound microscope is divided into three major “The three major parts
practicing new skills #2 parts according to its function. What was it again base on of the microscope
EXPLAIN the motivational activity?” according to its function
(Teacher calls a student to answer.) are the mechanical parts,
magnifying parts, and
illuminating parts.”
(A student answered.)

“That’s right. The major parts are the magnifying part,

illuminating part, and the mechanical part.”

“Let’s starting with the Magnifying part.” (Students listen

 attentively)
“The MAGNIFYING PART of the microscope are the
parts that enlarges the object once they are seen under
the microscope. There are two parts of the compound
microscope under the magnifying part, these are the
EYEPIECE / OCULAR LENS, and the OBJECTIVES.”

“The EYEPICE / OCULAR LENS is located at the top of

the microscope or at the top of the body tube. This is the
part where the viewer looks and see the magnified image
of the specimen.”

(Point in the microscope where eyepiece is.)

“The OBJECTIVE LENSES, just like the eyepiece, it is

also used in enlarging the image of the specimen, and it
is attached below the revolving nosepiece. There are
different types of objective lenses: the LOW POWER
OBJECTIVE (LPO), HIGH POWER OBJECTIVE
(HPO), and the OIL IMMERSION OBJECTIVE.”
a. LPO – has a 10x magnification power, the
object being viewed shows the entire outline
of the specimen.

(Points out in the microscope where it is.)

b. HPO – has a 40x – 60x magnification power,

and the object being viewed shows the
detailed structure of the specimen.

(Points out in the microscope where it is.)

c. OIL IMMERSION OBJECTIVE – has a 100x

magnification power, and uses a special oil
when viewing a specimen.

(Points out in the microscope where it is.)

“The ILLUMINATING PART of the microscope from

the word “illuminate” to give light. These are the parts
of the microscopes that supplies, provides, and regulates
the light towards the specimen being viewed. The parts
that provide light to the microscope are the MIRROR,
STAGE CONDENSER, and IRIS DIAPHRAGM.

“The MIRROR is located beneath the stage. It has a

concave and plane surfaces to gather and direct light in
order to illuminate the specimen or object being
viewed.”

(Points out in the microscope where it is.)

“And there is another illuminator that a microscope

uses, that is the electric lamp powered by electricity
which is still located beneath the stage and is preferably
use if sunlight is not available or preferred. Some
sources of light are from natural light like the sunlight
and the artificial light like the lamp.”

“The IRIS DIAPHRAGM regulates the amount of light

that goes into the body tube and reaches the specimen.
The size of the opening differs. The amount of light
reflected also changes where the bigger the opening, the
greater is the amount of light is reflected.”

(Points out in the microscope where it is.)

“The MECHANICAL PART of the microscope are

responsible for to hold and support the structural
components of the microscope. The parts that belong to
mechanical parts are the ARM, BASE, BODY TUBE,
STAGE, STAGE CLIPS, ADJUSTING KNOBS
(COARSE ADJUSMENT KNOB, FINE
ADJUSTMENT KNOB), REVOLVING
NOSEPIECE, and INCLINATION JOINT.”

“The ARM it provides support to the body tube and

connects it to the base. It is the curved/slanted part
where the microscope is held.”
 (Points out in the microscope where it is.)

“The BASE the bottommost portion of the microscope

that provides support to the entire/lower microscope.”

(Points out in the microscope where it is.)

“The BODY TUBE connects the eyepiece to the

revolving nosepiece with the objectives, and is attached
to the arm.”

(Points out in the microscope where it is.)

“The STAGE is the platform where the object to be

examine or the specimen is placed and it also provides
support for the slide that contains the specimen being
viewed. The slide mounted on the stage can be moved
form side to side until the specimen comes into view.”

(Points out in the microscope where it is.)

“The STAGE CLIPS holds or secures the slide in

place.”
 (Points out in the microscope where it is.)

“The COARSE ADJUSTMENT KNOB is geared to the

body tube which elevates or lowers when rotated
bringing the object into approximate focus. It moves the
tube and low power objective (LPO) lens closer or
farther away from the stage to view the image of the
specimen. It also focuses or brings out the object to be
observed.”

(Points out in the microscope where it is.)

“The FINE ADJUSTMENT KNOB is a smaller knob

for delicate focusing bringing the object into perfect
focus. It brings an image of the specimen into fine focus
showing the detailed parts of the specimen while using
the high-power objective (HPO) lens. It is being turned
slowly until the specimen comes onto view.”

(Points out in the microscope where it is.)

“The REVOLVING NOSEPIECE is a rotating disc

where the objectives are attached. It holds the objective
lens and facilitates the changing of the desired
objectives to its position. It is movable; hence it can
rotate the objective lenses depending on the
magnification power of the lens that you are going to
use.”

(Points out in the microscope where it is.)

“The INCLINATION JOINT allows for tilting of the

microscope for convenience of the user. It is the joint
that connects the arm and the base of the microscope. It
 enables the microscope to be tilted to view the specimen
while the viewer is sitting.”

F. Developing mastery “So, those are the different parts of the microscope and

lesson
“Simple and compound microscope are two types of
light microscopes but are also different from one
another. A simple microscope only uses one lens while
the compound microscope uses 2 or more lenses. Hence,
compound microscope is a type of light microscope that
uses light and lenses to be able to magnify objects or
specimen. And it has three major parts based on its
functions, these are the mechanical parts; arm, base,
stage, stage clips, coarse and fine adjustment knobs and
inclination joint, the illuminating parts; mirror, and iris
diaphragm, and the magnifying parts.”
