Plant Collection Project

• Press all specimens in a large book at home using paper towels or newspaper.  Mosses may require a paper towel/wax paper combo to avoid damage to the book.
• Collect both flower or cone and a leaf or set of leaves or needles (fiddle head and capsule if possible for ferns and mosses)
• Five different kinds:  must include a fern, an evergreen cone-bearing plant, a flowering plant, a moss, and one free choice  which is different from the others
• DUE Friday May 23 In class!   Bring to class in a large ziploc bag labeled with your name.   We will mount them in our boxes in class and identify them with Latin names.

  
  

  **Wednesday was a note taking day and we spent time in class discussing the concepts and finishing a graphic organizer for some of our vocab. I do expect you to take notes and look up the vocabulary I assign in class. The graphic is not transferable to the blog as it is hand-drawn.
