IV. PROCEDURES  

A.
Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the  What are the parts of the microscope and how does
new lesson each part function?
 
 The students will be asked to describe the picture.
They will be informed that it is not easy to view
specimens in a microscope and there are proper steps
to be followed in focusing the specimens.

B. Establishing a purpose for the Lesson

Presenting examples / instances of the  Do the activity Part 2 in LM pp 87-88 “Making a Wet
C.
new lesson Mount and Observing Specimens”
   Procedure
Making a Wet mount
1. Cut out a small letter “e” from a newspaper page.
2. Using forceps or tweezers place it in the center of a
 glass slide in an upright position
3. Add a drop of tap water over the cut letter
4. Position the cover slip at 45˚ with one side touching
one edge of the water on the slide.
5. Slowly lower the other edge of the cover slip until it
rests on the water and the printed letter.
6. If bubbles become present (the perfect circles you
see on your preparation), remove or minimize it by
gently tapping the cover slip with the eraser-end of a
pencil. Make the bubble move towards the edge of the
cover slip.
Observing Specimens
1. Put the slide on the stage. Make sure that the letter
is in the center of the hole in the stage and under the
LPO.
2. Watching from the side, carefully lower the body
tube until the end of the LPO almost touches the cover
slip.
 Discuss the answers in the activity given.
D.
 Analysis:
1. What makes the letter “e” suitable for observation
under the microscope?
2. How will you describe the position of letter “e” as seen
in the microscope?
3. Compare the image of the letter “e” that you see using
your unaided eye with that you see through the
microscope.
Discussing new concepts and practicing
4. To which direction does the image move after you
new skills #1
  moved the slide to the right? To the left?
5. Why do you have to watch from the side when
changing objectives?
6. Why should the fine adjustment knob be used only
with the HPO?
7. In which objective/s can you see the whole letter “e”?
8. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using
the HPO?
9. In which of the objective is the light darker? Brighter?
E.
Discussing new concepts and practicing
new skills #2
 

F.
Developing mastery
(Leads to Formative Assessment 3)
 
G. Finding practical applications of concepts The students will be given some prepared slides for them to
and skills in daily living observe. They will be asked to operate the microscope properly
  to view the image clearly.

H.
Making generalizations and abstractions How will you describe the image of specimen observed under
about the lesson the microscope?
 
Directions: Choose the letter of the best answer.
1. Which of the following can be observed using the light
microscope?
A. acacia bark C. piece of stone
B. five peso coin D. tip of a plant leaf
2. An animal cell being observed is seen at the topmost part of
the field of view under the LPO. If you want to center the
specimen, which direction should you move the slide?
A. left side C. right side
B. towards the user D. away from the user
3. Refer to the pictures below:
I. Evaluating Learning A. B.

Which of the two above shows letter “e” seen under the
microscope?
4. All of the following will be observed in the image of an object
studied under the microscope, EXCEPT
A. inverted C. magnified
B. moves in opposite direction D. moves in the same direction
5. When using the high power objective, you should not adjust
the:
A. Diaphragm C. Coarse adjustment
B. Fine adjustment D. Stage clips
J.
Additional activities for application or Suggest ways on how microscope contributes to the study of
remediation different objects and organisms.
