LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 7
Sept. 5-6, 2016
I. OBJECTIVES
1. identify the parts of the compound
microscope
2. Recognize the importance of the
microscope in the study of biology
3. Handle and maintain the microscope
properly
II. SUBJECT MATTER
Topic: The compound Microscope
Materials: microscope, visual aid
Reference: Grade 7 Science LM
III. PROCEDURE
a. Motivation
Start the lesson proper with brief question
and answer sort of discussion on the early
beginnings and development of the
microscope
b. Activity
Students will perform Activity
c. Analysis
1. How many objectives does your
microscope have?
2. How are the numbers related to the length
of the
objectives?
3. Which is the scanner? The low power
objective (LPO)?
The high power objective (HPO)?
In what direction must the coarse adjustment
knob be
moved to raise the body tube?
5.What is the function of the mirror? And how
do they differ?
d. Abstraction
- The microscope enables one to study
objects too small to be seen and observed by
the unaided eye.
-compound microscope uses light and lenses
to magnify objects/specimens. Total
magnification of the microscope is computed
by multiplying the magnifying power of the
eyepiece by that of the objective.
e. application
Why microscope is an important tool in the
study of biology? Explain.
IV. EVALUATION
Multiple choice. Select the best answer.
1. Joan is using a compound microscope to
examine a drop of pond water. Which
objective will she use if she wants to see the
greatest number of organisms in her sample?
a. high power objective c.
oil immersion objective
b. scanner d. low power objective
2. A student is looking at a pollen under the
microscope. If the eyepiece of the
microscope he is using has the inscriptions
5x and 45x for the objective used, how many
times is the pollen magnified?
a. 9x
c. 50x
b. 40x
d. 225x
3.A researcher wants to study the
mitochondria of the liver cells of the mouse.
The best microscope for him to use is the:
a. scanning electron
b. phase-contrast
c. transmission electron microscope
d. binocular compound microscope
4.If a microscope has an objective with an
inscription of 100x or 97x, it is called the:
a. oil immersion objective
b. scanner
c. high power objective
d. low power objective
V. ASSIGNMENT
Assign students to look for pictures of the
different kinds of microscopes from
magazines, brochures or downloaded from
the internet to be mounted on cartolina or
illustration board. These can then be
displayed on the walls or tables in the
laboratory
