Leaf Wax Rubbing Activity
Science notes
A leaf blade is the broad, flat part of a leaf. The midrib is the main vein, and smaller veins branch from it. The margin is the leaf’s edge; the petiole is the stalk that attaches it to a stem. Veins help move water and sugars through a leaf and support its blade. A rubbing can make raised veins and edges easier to observe. Different plants can have different leaf shapes, margins, and vein patterns.
- The veins are raised and can press against the paper.
- The paper creates new veins.
- The rubbing turns the leaf green.
- The veins disappear under the paper.
