| Students have been studying plants and their parts in Science. |
 |
| We have been discussing how roots and stems help plants. |
 |
| Students discovered how roots take in water, nutrients, and hold the plant in place. |
 |
| Students learned how the stem holds the plant upright so its leaves can take in sunlight.. |
 |
| Students observed how material is transported through a plant stem using celery stalks with leaves, water, and jars with blue food coloring. |
 |
| Students noticed colored water moving up the celery stalks. |
 |
We observed that the colored water rises through the stem and eventually colored the leaves and that stems transport materials throughout the plant. |
