Today we had the task to find and study a leaf with an uncommon white rimmed trail throughout the leaf. The leaf itself is a serrated oval shape with the small stem sticking out the bottom. The leaf is approximately 15 cm long and 5 cm wide and only about a tick mark of the ruler wide with a darker green top fading to a lighter green color towards the stem. The white trail surrounds about 2/3 of the leaf starting slim and growing thicker as it goes on to an eventual small opening in the surface. It can not be wiped off which means that is must be atleast one layer under the surface of the plant.

I feel some more scientific
I feel some more scientific terminology and more details would make you're paragraph much stronger.
Study of a Leaf
Like what you had to say about the leaf but I felt that it could have had more in the way of measurements.
Directional terms
I would avoid using terms like bottom or top, they can be confusing. Do you mean the top, where the leaf ends or the top, where the leaf is the greenest. Be more descriptive about how you are defining the top and the bottom.
Confusing Statement
This sentance is a bit jumbled
The leaf is approximately 15 cm long and 5 cm wide and only about a tick mark of the ruler wide with a darker green top fading to a lighter green color towards the stem.
Mostly that you use the measurement " a tick mark of the ruler wide" but then you also just stated its 5cm wide. These statements sort of conflict and make the sentance really odd.
