Objective: Identifying and comparing the diversity of plants

Students collected leaves from various trees in the school garden and in their own yard.

We observed and sorted the leaves by size, shape, color, and veins.

We created posters using “leaf prints,” pasting the leaves and indicating which plant the leaf belonged to.

They observed the shape, color, and veins of the leaves.

They created posters using the “leaf prints.”

They used a magnifying glass to observe the size, shape, color, and veins of the leaves.

They painted the leaves in different colors with watercolors and made prints. Using the “leaf prints,” they created posters and displayed them in the classroom.
