    The group conducted a microscopy activity to distinguish the cyst and trophozoite stages of six protozoan parasites: Entamoeba histolytica, Balantidium coli, Iodamoeba butschlii, Giardia lamblia, Endolimax nana, and Entamoeba coli. They were able to observe and image samples of each parasite in both life stages under the microscope. For each parasite, they recorded its scientific name, transmission method, and where it resides in the human body.

    Objective:
    - To determine the distinguishable feature of the cyst and the trophozoite stage of the Protozoan
    parasites including:
    o Entamoeba histolytica
    o Balantidium coli
    o Iodamoeba butschlii
    o Giardia lamblia
    o Endolimax nana
    o Entamoeba coli
    Materials:
