through a certain method
 Procedures

On day 1, we collected a few small branches with leaves from a few plants such as the papaya tree,
rambutan tree and mango tree. We then pressed it using a newspaper and labeled the specimens by
their layman name, genus and species. After that, we left to dry for one week. At the end of the week,
we mounted the specimen and pasted their labels onto it.

 Feelings when carrying out the project

We feel very happy that we were able to do this project because we learned a
lot about the species and genus names of the plants. We also feel very blessed
to experience these plants as it is a beautiful gift from God. We get to feel
closer to the plants because we usually ignore the plants and their roles in our
survival.
