Handling of Chemicals
1. Always read the reagent bottle labels twice before you use the reagent. Be certain the chemical
you use is the correct one.
2. Replace the top on any reagent bottle soon as you have finished using it and return the reagent
to the designed location.
3. Do not return unused chemicals to the reagent container. Follow the instructor’s directions for the
storage or disposal of these materials.
4. Solid chemicals, metals, matches, filter papers, broken glass and other materials designated by
the instructor are to be deposited in the proper waste container, not in the sink. Follow your
instructor’s directions for disposal of waste.
5. All chemicals in the laboratory are to be considered dangerous. Avoid handling chemicals with
fingers. Do not taste or smell any chemicals.
6. Dispose of all chemical waste properly. Never mix chemicals in sink drains. Sinks are to be used
only for water. Check with your instructors for disposal of chemicals and solutions.
I have read the above science laboratory rules and regulations, and I agree to follow them during
any science course, investigation, or activity. I acknowledge that these rules are necessary to
prevent accidents and to ensure mu own safety and the safety of others around me. I will follow any
additional instructions given by my instructor. I understand that I may ask my instructor at any time
about the rules and regulations if they are not clear to me. My failure to follow these science
laboratory rules and regulations may result in discipline.

locking mechanism and will allow you to discharge the extinguisher.
2. Aim at the base of the fire, not the flames. This is important -
in order to put out the fire, you must extinguish the fuel.

EXPERIMENT NO. 1
THE MICROSCOPE
Objectives:
1. To identify the parts of the microscope and its function
2. To demonstrate how to use properly and view the specimen using a compound microscope
Materials:
Compound light microscope
Glass slide
Cover slip
News paper
Piece of paper soaked overnight
Procedure:
A. Set-up
1. Position the microscope on the table. The arm should be facing you, and the base
should be about one inch from the edge of the table. This distance will allow you to look
through the eyepiece without tilting the microscope.
2. Put the low power objective in the position directly above the stage. You will hear a click
if the objective is properly placed.
B. Lighting
1. Adjust the lever of the diaphragm. Open the diaphragm widely. Make sure that the top
lens of the condenser is at the same level with the stage.
2. With both eyes open, look through the ocular. You should see a bright circular
microscopic field. Continue adjusting the mirror until you get this uniformly bright round
area.
E. Magnifying Power
1. The systems of lenses provide the magnification of the specimen. The objectives and
ocular or eyepiece together enlarge the specimen. Hence, total magnification is equal to
the magnifying power of the objective used multiplied by the magnifying power of the
ocular or eyepiece.

PROCESS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Objectives:
1. To determine how photosynthesis affects the pigment of the plants
2. To identify the presence of starch in a leaf for storage
Materials:
500mL Beaker Alcohol lamp
6 large test tubes Wire gauze
Forceps Tripod
Iodine solution Pipette dropper
1% sodium bicarbonate Watch glass
10mL ethyl alcohol
Specimen:
Mayana (Coleus sp.)
Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata)
Procedure:
Pigment Extraction and Test for Starch

hours and place the other pot in a dark place.
2. Make an outline of the leaf segment on the activity sheet and indicate accurately the
green and white or yellow part. Shade the green part so that you can distinguish it from
the other pigments.
3. Remove a leaf from each plant. Mark the leaf as A for exposed and B for leaf under
shade.
4. Fill a large test tube with two-thirds of ethyl alcohol.
5. Pour 250 ml of water into a 500 ml beaker and heat to boil.
6. Carefully place the test tube with ethyl alcohol into the boiling water bath.
7. Using a forceps, drop the leaves into the boiling alcohol.
8. When no color is left on the leaf, use the forceps to remove the leaf from the alcohol.
Place the leaf in the petri dish.
9. Using a pipette dropper, secure an iodine solution and cover the leaf with the solution.
Wait for 10 minutes. Then drain the excess iodine. The presence of starch is indicated
by the bluish black color.
10. Make another drawing of the leaf segment by shading the portion of the leaf that shows
the presence of starch.
11. Identify the types of pigments using paper chromatography.
