My HS junior yr biology class required a catalogue 100 native specimens by the end of May including: ~ a drawing, photo or sample (I waxed my samples via a dip in melted paraffin then mounted on art paper) could be seeds, leaf or bloom or piece of bark from a dead source such. ~ common and scientific names ~ categories (kingdom, family etc) ~ date collected ~ where the sample was found e.g., field, forest, yard, sidewalk, etc and then location of same (town) ~ bibliography
3 Saturdays were class trips: fall, winter and spring, all at an Audubon sanctuary
Results: An A grade and a wonderful source book for college biology -- helped me get some good test grades -- none of my classmates (state college) had done this in their h.s. so it got a got of use!
