Second-year students from the Botany Program, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University, participated in an intensive Field Trip on November 13, 2025, to gain direct experience and a deep understanding of the course SCPL205 Plant Morphology. The trip took place in the natural areas of Saraburi Province.
The primary objective of this excursion was to allow students to explore and study the morphological diversity of plants in a real-world setting, complementing their classroom learning. Specifically, the trip focused on studying the structure, shape, and function of various plant organs, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits.
Throughout the trip, under the close supervision of their instructors, the students practiced several crucial skills. These included basic plant identification, observing anatomical differences in plant features, and collecting field data—all of which are essential foundations for future botanical research.
This hands-on field activity is considered a vital component in developing the students’ potential, equipping them to become well-rounded botanists who can effectively connect theoretical knowledge from textbooks with practical application in natural environments.
