Tech | Osmosis and Transpiration

LI: to learn about the process of osmosis and transpiration.

Today, our focus was based on looking at the osmosis and transpiration of a plant (celery). Our first task was to look at the photosynthesis cycle. The photosynthesis cycle helps a plant create their food. The leaves are the ones to create the food. The ingredients a leaf needs are: sunlight, water (H20) and carbon dioxide. All of these ingredients create sugar/glucose. Our second task was based off of the celery and food colouring experiment. We watched a video about how to conduct this experiment. We needed to observe how the water travels through the xylem to the leaves and back from the phloem. The coloured water helped us see the xylems. I found this activity very interesting and I did not know that water travels through xylem in order to get to the leaves.
