Our last topic for this unit in Science is called ”Absorption in plants”
For this experiment we used the following materials:
- Celery
- Food Coloring
- Water
- Jars
When food coloring is added to the water, it travels with the water into the celery’s stem and then into the leaves. Plants also absorb nutrients from the soil through the roots and up through the phloem in the plant’s stems. The food coloring illustrates how nutrients are delivered to all parts of the plant.
