An organized approach to doing your leaf project.
#1 Begin by collecting good healthy leaves from trees, and placing them in a leaf press (book). Don’t forget the paper towel on both sides of the leaf, so that the leaf will dry faster and not stain the book.
#2 After a leaf has been in a press for a few days, remove the leaf and place it in a storage box.
#3 Now that you have a fair collection of leaves (10 to 20) it’s time to see what types of leaves you still need to collect.
#4 The instructions tell you how many leaves you will need of each type. So take your leaves out of the box and organize them by type. You will need: 6 --simple pinnate 2 --compound pinnate 1 --doubly compound pinnate 3 --simple palmate 1 --compound palmate 1 --simple parallel 3 --needles 3 --scales
( 6 ) simple pinnate ( 2 ) compound pinnate ( 1 ) doubly compound pinnate ( 1 ) compound palmate ( 3 ) simple palmate ( 1 ) simple parallel ( 3 ) scales ( 3 ) needles
#5 Once you have figured out what types of leaves you still need: Go and get them!
#6 You should now print out pages to use in your leaf projects with the titles and page numbers on them. Compound Palmate Simple Pinnate 7 2
#7 Using a few small pieces of clear tape, attach your leaves onto the pages of your project. (Normal letter size papers 8 ½ x 11) Don’t forget to allow room on the page for the leaf labels! Compound Pinnate Compound Palmate Simple Pinnate 4 7 2
#8 Create a label for each leaf and attach (tape) it on the paper next to the leaf. Remember: there is extra credit for color coding.

#9 Divide the page so that each leaf has its own section. Simple Pinnate Compound Pinnate #1 Klamath Plum Simple Pinnate #7 Pacific Red Elder Compound Pinnate #2 paper Birch Simple Pinnate #8 Walnut Compound Pinnate #3 White Oak Simple Pinnate 2 4
#10 Create an Index using the exact format provided in the instructions. Extra Credit only if the colors match the labels.

#12 FYI: you may bring your project in before the due date if you would like a quick “pre-check” and some corrective criticism.
