Excerpt from Nature Study With Common Things: An Elementary Laboratory Manual
Five or six blackberries per pupil. For this allow at least one quart box for twenty pupils. Pins; sharp knives; small pieces of white blotting paper.
If possible, have pieces of bramble to show stern, thorns, leaves, and the old hull, or calyx, from which the berries have been picked or have fallen. This can be procured in the summer from wild blackberry vines and dried. The leaves may be dried on them also, or may be removed and pressed. By cutting stems in four or five inch lengths while they are fresh, they can be packed in a small box and transported without trouble. If the stems are not thoroughly dry before packing, they w1ll mold.
In packing sprays With the calyx it is advisable to wrap each separately in a bit of paper, otherwise they will be badly damaged in the unpacking.

The book takes a practical, hands-on approach, guiding students through a series of lessons on various plant specimens. Lessons cover topics such as the structure of fruits, leaves, roots, and stems. Each lesson includes detailed instructions on how to observe the specimen, followed by questions designed to help students identify and describe its key features.
