We will collect plant samples and prepare herbarium specimens.

Equipment:

• scissors/knife if sample needs to be cut
• plant press - pieces of cardboard or the textbook/lab guide should work
• newspaper
• small bags to store samples
• mounting paper - cardboard or poster board
• glue
• pen/marker

Place the specimen between a layer of newspaper and the press.

After drying for a few days, mount the specimen by gluing to a stiff piece of paper. Do not use scotch tape. Label with:

• class name
• your name
• date and location where specimen was collected
• scientific and common name of specimen
• some interesting facts about the species
