Thirsty Vegetables & Flowers

In room 3 P.M. we examined how vegetables and flowers get water. We placed the celery and white carnations in blue water. We used food coloring to turn the water blue. The children then watched every day until the leaves turned blue. As we observed the flowers and vegetables, I explained that they get their water through their stems. Similar to how we drink out of a straw. The children were amazed at how the leaves changed colors.
