Take a basic taxonomy class that is local to your area.  I'm sorry to say this but the only way to do it is to get out there and practice, practice.  Look at herbarium specimens, go through the keys and keep trying.\n\nYou'll learn to focus on plant family characteristics and then start to know them by genera.\n\nI've been doing this for 15 years in Colorado and I'm just now getting to the point where it's less common for me to come across a plant that I don't know.

If you naturally love words, tugging a dictionary along with you all the time would be helpful. Any word you encounter that doesn't register in your memory you can easily find-out. Electronic dictionaries come in handy for such occassions: Read.Read.Read. Then check. check. check. the dictionary.\n\nI read from one study that it takes repetition before we can memorize the new words we meet. My point is, just don't get tired of relearning words even though you have studied them before; its part of the learning process. \n\nWriting letters to friends or answering short forums like this also help you use the new vocabulary you learned.\n\nLearning takes up a long time. But learning a two or three words everyday on a consistent basis is every effective.

What somebody told me and it seems to work most of the time is spell banana five times fast. Maybe this will help you.

The plant or the fruit? That's the trick.

What region do you live in?  Depending on where you live, there could be very different trees growing.\n\nhttp://www.oplin.org/tree/\n\nThis site has a pretty good key for identifying trees by leaf, but is missing several very common species.

Try using them in conversation, and don't try to remember too many new words at once.  Gaining contextual familiarity and not overwhelming yourself will help you remember new words.  Good luck!

Try Mind Mapping!!!\nWrite all the most important facts that need to be remembered on que cards, study them and then shuffle them and map them back together. That way u will remeber the facts and all the little bits that connect them!!!!!

How much time do you have?  If you have a few weeks....\n\nGet 5 of the same type of plant.\n\nMake sure they all have the same conditions.  Same type of soil/amount   Same amount of light/temp.  If using lamps, make sure they get the same amount of lamp time.\n\nThe goal is to keep all conditions the same aside from the one variable you will be testing... \n\nSo on to the variable.  Pick 5 different substances that you will give them for fluids... IE...\n\n1. Water  2. Soda   3. Bleach   4. Miracle grow or other plant food mixxed with water.   5. Orance juice.\n\nOkay.  Water will be your control group.  You will use this as a base line to compare all of the others to.  You can of course pick whatever you want for fluids. Those are just some ideas pick whatever fluids you want.  Always make sure to have a control group (the one with water) so you have something as a base line.\n\nGive them all 25 milliliters of the subtance each day. The amount you give them depends on what plant you pick, and its size, adjust accordingly. Make sure to feed them at the same time each day.\n\nBefore you start, write down your hypothesis.. \nHow do you think each plant will do? and why?\n\nTwice a week write down how the plants look.\nHow much they have grown.\nThe plants overall health.\nAlso, write down anything else you have noticed. i.e change in color, a plant dying.  \n\nThen compare it with the plant just getting plain water.  It is doing better than the control?  worse?  same? \n\nAt the end of each week make a theory on how you think the plant will do over the next week.\n\nMake sure to factor out all variable, and keep everything aside from the substance they get the exact same.\n\nWhen done with the experiment write a conclusion.  Was your hypothesis correct? What were you right about? What were you wrong about? How did each plant fair?  What could you have changed to make the experiment more accurate??  Did you do anytyhing wrong? ie mistakenly change something?  If you repeated the experiment, do you think the results would be the same? why or why not?\n\nMake sure to fully explain all of your statements. Charts or graphs of the results are always nice.\n\nThis would work the best if you started them from seed, but you prob don't have that kind of time span.  \n\nIf this is to childish of an experiment, maybe do a plant stem grafting experiment, or a cross-pollination between plants of the same species. i.e make a hybrid plant from 2 differnt types of tomatos or different flowers.

I have a local "extension office" of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture.  If you have such an office in your area, they are very good at naming plants and advising the treatment for lots of things.  It may take them a couple of days to fine the information for you.

Using flash cards with English and a translation on the other side is very effective for short term memorization.\n\nIf you want to remember the words for a long time I recommend you make some sentences using the words. \n\nAlso look in a dictionary for the root word or similar words.  For example: optical relates to vision.  an  optometry - an eye doctor\n\nThere are also many memory strategies such as making a mental picture of the word, writing the words many times, making a song or chant using the words.

Well, for one thing, take notes. Keep 'em simple. Like you said, who wants to stare at a textbook for hours and hours? Better to study quick, simple, down-to-earth info. For example, instead of saying "Mushrooms are fungi" you can note down, "Mushroom-fungi". Abbreviate; make your notes as simple as possible yet not too simple. Need to know if something is worth taking notes on? Convert the sentence or info you just learned into a question. If you were a teacher, would you put that on the test? Also, take breaks if you will study for a long time; maybe 15 minute breaks hourly so you're not as bored.

Improve Reading Skills By Building Word Recognition Skills. Increasing the number of words that a reader can recognize effortlessly and without thought. Words that can be recognized effortlessly and without thought are words that that reader can recognize automatically. \n\nThe logic behind building automatic word recognition skills is based on the ideas that words that are recognized by thinking about them makes reading a laborious process. This can cause increasingly greater difficulties as a student moves into junior and senior high school where the reading load in subject matter areas such as science, math and social studies greatly increases. \n\nIf word recognition for a large number of words can be made "automatic", then reading will be easier and a reader will be more likely to keep up with peers as reading load increases. A reader with a large sight vocabulary will be able to instantly identify words without having to sound out the words. Instant word recognition by sight greatly increases reading fluency and reading comprehension. \nSkill Builder Module Intervention Sets For Overcoming Reading Problems And Improving Reading Comprehension \n\nAt the end of a practice session a graph appears showing time per page and overall accuracy (percent correct). Each practice session is added to the graph so your the child will see accuracy increasing and time decreasing with practice sessions. \n\nWe offer a number of Intervention Sets from grade 1 to adult, for use with our Skill Builder Module. With Skill Builder practice, a reader will almost always show very dramatic improvement. This is a great confidence boost, positive feedback to continue practicing.

Chlorophyll is the way to go. Pills or parsley. \n\nGargling does no good as the smell is in your bloodstream, not your mouth.

Try a seed and a fully open flower. Obviously this flower has grown, but you can say that what you came to the class knowing was just the basics..like the seed, and as the class went on, your learning grew more and now you know much more about it, like the open flower..what color it is, how big it is, what it looks like on the inside..etc.

Well you might start with reading about the scientific method.  There in you might find you need two study groups and likly several kinds of plants.  \nI would start with easily grown from seed plants.  Given identical stimuli except one group gets exposed to music.  Now a truly interested party would have several more groups and vary the added stimuli with various kinds of music.  eg. rock, punk, blues, opera, elevator type, etc....no doubt one might find that the added stimulis might alter the outcome in each of the test groups to get the added stimuli.  Too, one may find that certain plants behave differently to that added stimuli.  Might even vary it again by adding identcal plants alredy growing to each group.
