Learn how plants absorb water

We had fun with this experiment. It was very cool to watch the colours change! I
used food coloring and cabbage leaves to show the kids how plants absorb water (and
nutrients) up through their stems. We also did this experiment with white flowers too!

To conduct your own science experiment, you will need:

 Cabbage leaves – we used Wombok (chinese cabbage) and again, you can do
this with flowers also
 Food colouring
 Water
 Jars

First you will need to add some water to each jar.

Then add a different coloured food dye to each jar…we used about 10 drops per jar to
make sure the water was nice and vibrant!
