In science we have been looking at parts of plants and their functions. Recently we have been focusing on the stems and how the xylem move water around the plant. This week we have carried out an experiment to see how important water and the xylem are. We had 2 sticks of celery. In one pot we put our celery in water with food colouring. In another pot we put a stick of celery, which has had the bottom covered in Vaseline, in water with blue food colouring. Over the next week we will be monitoring our celery to see what happens.
