+'''Pre-requisites:'''
+(a) Knowledge of finding the similarities and difference in the patterns of leaf.
+The teacher should ask children’s to come up with their own criteria for leaf classification and then ask students to classify based on the criteria given.
+'''Instructions to do the activity'''
+ • Divide the class into 3-4 groups of students. Each group should gather a collection of leaves in a basket.
+ • Bring them to a place where it could be spread and take a close look at them.
+ • Study the leaves and think of your own ways to sort the leaves into groups. place them in separate groups on the ground.
+ • Write a note and place it below each group to say why you have put the leaves together?
+ • After children’s classification teacher should ask children’s to sort leaves based on specific criteria’s like shape, size, color, margin and venation.
+ • Then discuss children’s reasons for each criteria of classification.
