Learning Plan in Grade VII Science

Quarter: Topic: Experiment 4 – Microscope

Second Quarter – Living Things and the Environment
Date: September 05, 2013

OBJECTIVES: KEY IDEAS:

During the learning period, 80% of the students
should be able to:
1. Compare the image of the object seen by the
unaided eye and under the microscope;
2. Observe and describe the direction of the
movement of the specimen under the
microscope;
3. Manipulate the microscope and
4. Value the importance of microscope in the
study of different organisms.
1. The different parts of the microscope are the
eyepiece or ocular, coarse adjustment, fine
adjustment, objectives, arm, stage clip,
inclination, base, mirror, diaphragm, revolving
nosepiece and body tube.
2. The specimen being examined under the
microscope appears to be inverted and
enlarged. It also moves in the opposite
direction of where it is being moved by the
observer.
3. Each of the objectives in a microscope differs
in their magnification number.

4. Procedure
a. Pre-lab: Precautionary Measures
 Horseplay is not allowed.
 Be very cautious with every movement.
 Observe extra care when manipulating the microscope.
 Do not put the microscope from direct sunlight.
 Do not let the objectives touch the slide.

b. Lab Activity 2
Procedure:
 Manipulation
1. Moisten a slide and put the cut-out e.
2. Examine the specimen in the microscope.
 3. Describe how the e moves as the specimen is being moved.
 Magnification
Find the magnification number of the following:
Ocular
Low Power Objectives
High power Objectives
Scanner

Guide Questions
1. How does the specimen appear under the microscope?
2. Where is the direction of movement of the specimen as it is moved by the observer?
3. Which part of the microscope contains lens?
4. What part of the microscope has the largest number of magnification? Smallest number of
magnification?

1. The specimen is inverted.

2. The specimen moves in the opposite direction.
3. The ocular/eyepiece and the three objectives contain lens.
4. The High Power Objective contain the largest number of magnification while the eyepiece
has the smallest number of magnification.
