going to do is to label the parts of the
microscope using the Meta cards. You
are only given three minutes to do the
activity. Once your group is finished you
make a clap so that your group will be
recognized as finished. Then you post
your output to the front.

 Class, how did you find the activity?  The activity was very interesting and
attainable.

 Thank you. Did you learn something from  Yes ma’am. Through the activity, I get to

you go through our lesson for today?

 In what way?  My new knowledge on the parts of the

microscope can help me understand
more the functions of the microscope
and the process of its manipulation.

ABSTRACTION

instruments, it is composed of different
parts with specific function.
