4. Ethical use of each specimen must be strictly observed at all times.

Preservation Process

Plant/Fungi
1. Learners can used traditional method to preserve their specimen, either by drying, pressing, use
of resin, or any method proposed and approved for the preservation of specimen
Animal
1. The use of Formaldehyde (formalin) for tissue preservation must be used.
2. A clean sterilized environment and material must be used to avoid contamination.
3. All specimen must be kept in an airtight jar and stored in the laboratory away from sunlight.
4. Teams must recheck their specimen on a weekly basis and observe if mold or contamination
