Option 2 : Teacher brings a pond water sample and makes the students observe it under a microscope. 

A microorganism, or microbe, is an organism of microscopic size, which may exist in its single-celled form or as a colony of cells.  An organism that can be seen only through a microscope. Microorganisms include bacteria, protozoa, algae, and fungi. Teacher bringing a pond water sample and making the students observe it under a microscope  would be best suited to clarify the misconception as:

  • Pond water acts as a source of living for many types of microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and algae.
  • When the teacher brings the sample of pond water and allows the student to observe it under the microscope the student can easily distinguish different types of microorganisms.
  • Then it would be realized by the student with proof that the concept he had made was a misconception.
  • Student himself erases the old wrong concept and builds a new concept.
  • Pond water is a source of many living microorganisms clears the misconception of children.

​Hence teacher bringing a pond water sample and making the students observe it under a microscope would be best suited to clarify the misconception. 

On the other hand, a drug, mushroom, and root can't be used as a resource for clearing the misconception of the child because it can't be guaranteed that they may contain a variety of microorganisms like pond water.
