What Is the Basic Botany Slide Set Used For?

The set can carry a full botany practical course. Students begin by comparing simple algae and fungi, then trace the alternation of generations in mosses, liverworts and ferns using the antheridia, archegonia, sporogonium and prothallus slides. Stem and root sections of maize and sunflower give a direct monocot and dicot comparison, while the Cucurbita LS shows the sieve tubes of the phloem.

Pine and cherry leaf sections contrast a needle leaf with a broad leaf, the pollen slide supports lessons on wind and insect pollination, and the onion root apex shows cells in mitosis. Scan every slide at low power before moving to a higher objective, and ask students to draw and label each specimen; this builds the observation skills that botany lab equipment is meant to develop.
