Botany Specimens (Common)

A collection of preserved botanical specimens in clear jars — Spirogyra, Sargassum, Funaria, Marchantia and other representative plant groups for direct observation.

How it works

1. Place the jars on the bench by plant group
2. Observe each specimen without opening the jar
3. Identify the features of each group

What students learn

• Recognise the main plant groups
• Identify features of algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes and seed plants
• Identify root types and plant diseases

Try these experiments

1. Sort the specimens into plant groups
2. Identify each with reasons
3. Compare the root types in the collection
