How do you dissect plants?

Question

Over the summer we have to pick a topic for the science fair at my school. My partner and I have both agreed to do a dissection of plants.

I was hoping to get directions on how to do it step by step. Thanks!

Answer 1

A lily or something with big flower parts is generally going to be easier.

I've been dissecting flowers that are about 3mm and thats not easy

Answer 2

On this site you find info about pre-lab activities, 5 examples for plant dissection and post-lab and data analysis:
