7th graders: Now is the time for each of you to start learning more about each of the 10 leaves you collected over the summer. I've put together a number of web sites that will help you identify the different parts of your leaves including its margins, branching, shapes, tips, bases, and veining pattern.
In class activity powerpoint on Leaf Lab Be sure to view this powerpoint if you missed it during class.
Click on the following link, go to the top right search bar, type in tree name. When tree type appears click the top link. Scroll down to where it says "foliage" below that you will find info. on margin, shape, veining, etc.. Very good link...Thanks Josh.
