Leaf Collection Collect 5 different leaves found on the ground as you walk outside your home or other area you frequent. Try to avoid leaves from around the school. Select and handle leaves according to the following guidelines: Try to collect leaves near your home rather than around the school. Carefully examine each leaf to be sure that they are different than one another and that 5 different species will be represented in the sample. Select only leaves that have fallen off of trees. Avoid shrubs and ornamental plants. Look for whole leaves, avoid those that are torn or partially decomposed, as this will make identification difficult. If leaves are collected more than a day in advance of the in-class lesson, store leaves in a paper lunch bag, NOT a plastic Ziploc bag, to prevent decay.
