Description
Students will examine a variety of plant specimens, each from a different country. They will collect information from these specimens to answer various prompts about ecology, geography, and anthropology. Students will then create their own illustrated herbarium specimen and share with their classmates. Students will evaluate herbaria and natural history collections as sources of useful information, and begin to consider how the structure of herbarium specimens and the information contained on them best conveys this information as a historical record.
