In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

Learners place cut flowers in colored water and observe how the flowers change. The flowers absorb the water through the stem and leaves.

Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.

In this activity, learners try to revive wilted celery. Learners discover that plants wilt when their cells lose water through evaporation. Use this activity to introduce capillary action.

Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.
