We enjoyed our science experiment this week.
We talked about the circulatory system of a stalk of celery. We used food colouring to show how the small "vessels" in the celery stalks carry the water and colour to the leaves, like the way blood travels through your body.
Certain types of plants called vascular plants – to which celery belongs – have a type of tissue inside them called xylem. These are like tiny tubes, and their job is to transport water from the roots of the plant to the stems and leaves, as well as nutrients.
