BECOME A LEAF EXPERT
Do this activity with a number of leaves over a period of few weeks. For every leaf that you wish to study, pluck it and wrap it in a wet cloth and take it home. Now , place the leaf between the folds of a newspaper and place a heavy book on it. You can also put it under your mattress or a trunk! Take out the leaf after a week. Paste it on a paper and write a poem or story about it. With your leaf collection pasted in a book, you can become an expert about leaves!
I prepared a similar dried leaf collection.
I prepared the leaf for mounting by treating it with several drops of glue on one side of the leaf (back) and placing it on the mounting surface. Then, I placed the weight on the leaf until it is completely dried.
[Explanation:
The herbarium is a collection of preserved plant samples or specimens that have been dried, pressed, and kept on paper sheets called herbarium sheets.
The sheets and plant specimen information are organized on a storage device in accordance with the accepted method of categorization.
The sheets contain details such as the date and location of the collection, the English and botanical names, the collector's family name, etc.]
