Applications and Experiments for the Moss Slide
Students use the slide to study the structure of a moss as a typical bryophyte. They identify the root-like rhizoids, the upright axis and the small leaf-like structures of the gametophyte, and, where present, the stalk and capsule of the sporophyte, then compare this body plan with algae and ferns.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can students identify on a moss whole-body slide?
They can pick out the rhizoids that anchor the plant, the slender axis and the small leaf-like structures of the gametophyte. Where a sporophyte is attached, its stalk and capsule show the spore-producing generation of the life cycle.
Why use a prepared slide instead of fresh moss?
A prepared, coloured slide is ready at any time of year and shows the plant consistently for every group. Fresh moss is useful for hand-lens work, but the slide gives a reliable reference for drawing and labelling.
