Detailed explanation-1: -The science bit – how plants transport water The experiment with a stick of celery reveals that this happens through special tubes, called xylems, which take up the food colouring. The process is accelerated by evaporation from the celery leaves and you can make it go even faster by using a hairdryer on the leaves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each tube you see in the celery stem is in fact a collection of very thin tubes, called Xylem and Phloem! Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots up, while Phloem transports sugars made in the leaves during photosynthesis to the rest of the plant.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fill your glass half full with water. Add eight to ten drops of red food coloring to the water in the glass. Use a spoon to stir the water and food coloring. Put the stalk of celery in the glass. Leave it alone for several hours or even overnight. More items
Detailed explanation-4: -Fill the jars or glasses about halfway with water and place them by sunlight. Drop different colors of food coloring into each of the glasses. Cut or rip stalks of celery and place them in the cups of colored water. Let the celery sit. Check every few hours with your child to see how the colors change!
