Today was sadly my last session of the term with Mrs Sharmap. She does STEM and let me tell you this experiment was COOL! It seems pretty basic but the results are worth it. We got to see water travel through the stem in a plant. In other words Photosynthesis. Once we took out the plant and cut it open the insides were the colour of the water. I worked with Kamryn. By the way if you want to do this just look at the bottom. This experiment was really fun and actually was the BEST! I hope I get to do this again next term! I hope you learn something and that you ENJOY THIS!
Topic 7- Osmosis and Transpiration
Photosynthesis-A process in which plants make their own food.
C02+H20 Sunlight Sugar+02 (Carbon dioxide+water Sugar+Oxygen)
Parts of a Plant 1.Flower 2.Stem 3.Leaf 4.Roots (Leaf is part of plant where photosynthesis takes place) |
Stomata: Tiny parts that help water of Carbon Dioxide
Osmosis: Process that help to move water from the roots to the leaves
Cells in the plants: Xylem and Phloem
Phloem: helps food to move/distribute to different parts of plants |
Celery and food colouring experiment:
Purpose: To see water movement from the roots to the leafs through Xylem
Supplies: Celery Water Food colouring Cups (Conical Flask) Scissors
Steps: Add food colour in water (10 colours in any order with any cups) 4 celery that have a lot of leafs Cut off the end parts Put it in the Conical Flask Stir the water with the celery just to make sure that the colouring is in good Optional add plastic bags and a something to tie it with a twist tie Wait and watch to see what happens (1 hour 30 minutes then remove it or just as long as you want) Cut open your celery and take a closer look at the fibre where the Xylem is (There should be some colour there) BOOM! They you have it |
