MAKING A SPECIMEN LABEL




OBJECTIVE: Students will demonstrate that they understand how to correctly label a preserved specimen by properly recording collecting data on the label and attaching it to the mounted specimen.

INSTRUCTIONS: The information of location, growing site, soil and habitat all need to be included on the specimen label. The form below is recommended, but the class might be able to design one that displays the information better. For the sake of uniformity the class should agree on the form that all will use.
