1. What is a PlantPress? What are they used for? Find out how to use it and what materials we need. . A properly pressed leaf highlights its structure(s) and provides you with a three dimensional leaf. 2. What species of plants do we expect to find outside our school? Research common flora of Massachusetts to build a list of what we will find during this field study. 3. How will we know when we find these plants? Red maple have red leaves. cedar trees are christmas trees. eastern hemlock used in construction.
