COMPETENCY: Identify the parts of a microscope. I. ENGAGE A. Review Show the different laboratory equipment. The pupils will name them and tell how they are used.

B. Motivation Show a microscope to the pupils. The pupils will tell something about it.

Ask the pupils if they can tell the parts of the microscope. C. Pre-Laboratory Activities 1. Preparation of Materials 2. Setting Standards 3. Discussion of Precautionary Measures 4. Unlocking of Difficulties adjustment, diaphragm and inclination joint.

II. EXPLORE A. Activity Proper Let the pupils utilize the activity worksheet about the parts of the microscope. This activity must be performed in the room or in the school laboratory. Work in a team of five (5). Observe and facilitate closely how the pupils do the experiment cooperatively. The pupils must be able to identify the parts of the microscope correctly. III. EXPLAIN A. Post Laboratory Activities: 1. Reporting 2. Discussion, Analysis and Interpretation of Data: Guide Question: What is an optical instrument that magnifies the size of a very tiny specimen so that it could be seen clearly by the naked eye. B. Generalization: Can you identify the parts of a microscope? (Possible Answer: Yes, the parts of the microscope are: eye piece, body tube, revolving nosepiece, dust shield, arm, coarse adjustment knob, fine adjustment knob, stage, stage clip, pillar, inclination joint, base, condenser, Iris diaphragm, mirror) IV. EXTEND A. Application You want to know the parts of the blood. What instrument will you use to know the parts of the blood? Why? Give the parts of the microscope. V. EVALUATE Identify the parts of a microscope 1. Platform where the slide with specimen to be examined is placed. 2. A short curved handle used in carrying the microscope. 3.
