Science in Action: Water Transportation Investigation

Year 3 have been putting their scientific inquiry skills to the test this week as they investigate how water travels through plants. To make this invisible process visible, the classroom has been transformed into a colorful laboratory.

Using celery stalks and vibrant food dyes, the students set up a classic transpiration experiment. By placing the stalks into coloured water, they are able to observe how the plant's internal systems—specifically the xylem—pull moisture upwards against gravity.
