How the model is used in teaching
A dicot leaf is built in layers. The upper and lower epidermis are covered by a waxy cuticle. Beneath the upper surface lies the palisade mesophyll, packed with chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and below it the loosely arranged spongy mesophyll, whose air spaces allow gases to diffuse. Veins carry xylem and phloem, and stomata, most of them on the lower surface, open and close under the control of guard cells.
A model makes this layered structure easy to follow. Students find each numbered feature, check its name on the key card and then explain what that tissue does, which ties leaf anatomy to photosynthesis and transpiration.
- Show the whole model and identify the upper and lower surfaces of the leaf.
- Have students locate each numbered feature and read its name from the key card.
- Discuss the function of each tissue, then ask students to sketch and label a leaf section from the model.
