This activity will guide students through the process of collecting fresh plant material that will be transformed into a permanent herbarium specimen. Students will make a specimen for the plant they chose to represent their family’s botanical history. Each student will use a field press to preserve the plant they collect and record field notes about the plant. This information will be used to prepare a permanent record label that will appear on the herbarium specimen.
