Ee Rynn came to me wanting to know how plants drink water. She knew plants need water but how do they drink? She told me she saw an activity somewhere using food colouring and celery. So this is the list of items we have prepared.
1. plastic cup
2. food colouring
3. celery
4. chopping board
5. plastic knife
She choose yellow and red food colouring for this experiment. We filled the plastic cup with water and pour the food colouring into the plastic cup. She put the celery into each cup and told me to leave it overnight.
The next day, she want to cut the celery stem to check whether there's water in the stem. She explained that we will know by examine the tiny holes inside the celery stem. She chopped the celery and happy to see the tiny holes filled with yellow and red. She concluded that the celery drink water and causing the leaves to change colour according to the colour in the water.
She took out her note book and record her findings. She draw a picture of the celery too. It was a fun moment for us.
Ee Wern was attentive throughout :-)
