I-OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards
Demonstrate understanding of the parts and function of the compound microscope
B. Performance Standards
The learners should be able to employ appropriate techniques using the compound microscope to
gather data about very small objects.
C. Learning Competency
Identify the parts of the microscope and their function.
Sub competencies

Science Learner’s Material 7, pp. 105,109-112
IV. PROCEDURES
A. Preliminary Activities
ELICIT-What is a microscope? What can it do? How does it work?
MICROSCOPE
ENGAGE-
A. Magnifying with water- Build a magnifying tool with a paper clip and water.
Materials: water, paper clip and newspaper.
1. Bend the paper clip to form a small loop
2. Dip the loop into a glass of water, then carefully remove it.
3. Looking through the drop of water in the loop, examine the ink pattern found in
figures shown on a newspaper page. What happened?
B. Provide the students with magnifying lens and ask them to look through it on top of a newspaper.
Describe what happened to the image/text viewed.
ELABORATE-
*A microscope uses light and lenses to produce an enlarged image of an object. A simple
microscope such as hand lens has only one lens. A microscope with two or more lenses is
called a compound microscope. This lens is the ocular lens located in the eyepiece and the
other lenses are located in the revolving nosepiece (objective lenses-HPO,LPO,Oil)
Can the eyepiece, high power objective and the low power objective lens all be used at the
same time?
Ask students to look through the microscope and adjust the amount of light reflected on the
eyepiece?
Which part of the microscope provides light?
Which part reflects light?
Which part regulates the amount of light?
D. Evaluating Learning:
EVALUATE
1. What is the function of a microscope?
2. What kind of microscope do we have in our laboratory?
3. What is the function of the mirror?
4. What does the eyepiece and objective do?
5. What is the use of the diaphragm?
EXTEND-
Famialize the labelled parts of the compound microscope with that of the actual microscope.
Make a list of parts of the microscope and its function.
