Celery experiment--how a plant transports water

Grade Level: Elementary
Objective: To understand how plants transport water and nutrients


We began an experiment using celery and food coloring on Friday.  Today, we got to see the results.  The kids observed how the red food coloring had tinted the entire stalk of celery.  When we cut the celery stalks open we could see the xylems (the tubes plants use to transport water) were dyed red.
