Identifying a tree from its leaf teaches careful observation. Students look at whether a leaf is simple or compound, how leaflets are arranged, the shape of the blade, the margin (smooth, toothed or lobed) and the pattern of veins, then follow the leaf key step by step, choosing between paired descriptions until they reach a name. The Tree Finder book supports the same process and helps students check their answers. Because the kit deals with the real world around students, it keeps learners of all ages engaged.
Younger classes can sort the carded specimens into groups by shape or margin before using the key; older students can time themselves against the key, discuss where it was ambiguous, or build their own simple dichotomous key. The labels give the teacher an instant answer check. As part of the botany lab equipment for a classification unit, the kit also prepares students for a schoolyard or park walk to identify local trees. Keep specimens in their bags between lessons so they stay flat and intact.

What is included in the Leaf Identification Kit?
The Leaf Identification Kit (SLE/EBT/02) includes 39 real tree leaves, each carded, labelled and bagged, together with a 61-page Tree Finder book and a leaf key that students follow step by step to name each specimen.
Which grades is the Leaf Identification Kit designed for?
The Leaf Identification Kit is designed for grades 3-12. Younger pupils sort the carded leaves by shape and edge, while older students work through the leaf key and the Tree Finder book independently to reach a name.
Which tree species are in the kit?
The species list for the Leaf Identification Kit is not published in this listing. Ask through the contact page and ScienceLab will share the names of the 39 tree leaves with your quotation, so you can check them against your syllabus.
How should the leaf specimens be stored?
Store the Leaf Identification Kit specimens flat in their bags, away from damp and direct sunlight, and handle the cards by their edges. Dried leaves become brittle, so careful storage keeps all 39 specimens usable for future classes.
Who supplies the Leaf Identification Kit?
