We need water every day. Water is essential to life.
Transporting water to higher regions can sometimes require pumps to lift it, which consumes energy.
Can we learn from plants how they bring water up to the leaves without needing pumps or consuming energy?
Let us look at how flowers transport water.
Several videos that can be explored by the teacher as a source of information:
Note: Cut off the last centimetre of the stem at the beginning of the experiment to make sure that the xylem tubes exposed to the colored water weren’t damaged.
In addition to celery, test with different vegetables and see what the differences are.
An experiment can be developed to see which vegetable transports water most quickly.
The toothpicks are made of wood fibers. The sticks absorb water and expand, in this expansion they form a star.
