    This document provides instructions for an experiment demonstrating how plants draw water from their stems into their leaves and flowers. The experiment involves placing flower stems in colored water, which will then be drawn up through the plant's vascular system, dyeing the white petals. Within 6-12 hours the petals will change color as the colored water reaches them through the plant's xylem tubes. Cutting open the stem will show the colored liquid inside the vein-like structures. The process demonstrates how transpiration allows plants to transport water from their roots through their stems and leaves.

    White Flowers eg. Carnations, Queen Annes Lace, we used lilies. They must be white. Celery stick. Water soluble food colouring from grocer (red or blue works best). I wonder if black ink will spread into the colours of the rainbow, so Im trying that as well. Clear vase. Knife to cut cross-section. (Ask for an adult's help with this)

    What To Do : > Watch the Shows > Quizzes > Have Your Say 1. Fill the vase with water, and add the food colouring. 2. Trim the flower stem and place it in the vase. I put a stick of celery in each vase too. 3. Check back every few hours. Between 6 to 12 hours later, then plant should have draw then coloured water up the stem, and the white flower should now be the colour of the food dye. 4. You can now remove the flower from the vase, and get an adult to cut the stem and look at the cross section. You should see vein-like tubes filled with coloured liquid. This will be especially noticeable with

    the celery.

    Whats Going On:


    Water evaporates from the surface of the plants leaves and petals. As this happens the plant draws water from the ground through its roots (or from the vase through the stem in this case). This process is called "transpiration". The plant draws water through little "tubes" or vein-like structures called "xylem". And much like veins, the xylems are thick in the stem, and spread out in branch-like form along the leaves. In this case, the flower draws coloured water through the xylem, and this dyes the flower petals!
