I hope you enjoy the activities and be sure to email your class your amazing work! We miss seeing your wonderful achievements!

What you will need:

What to do:

1. Put a leaf under this sheet.

2. Rub the crayon on the paper on top of the leaf.

3. Watch your leaf rubbing appear on the paper.

Fill in the spaces with the words from the plant pot!

We are going to find out how plants absorb water and grow.

What you do:

Separate and select stalks of celery with leaves.
Cut about a quarter inch off the bottom.
Put about 200ml of water into glass cup.
Drop 3-4 drops of food colouring into the cup.
Place stalks into the water and using stalk stir very gently until food colouring is dispersed evenly.
Make a prediction about what will happen. Write it in a simple sentence.
Over the next 3 days come back and make observations about what has changed. On the third day cut the bottom of the celery and you can see where the water was transported up into the celery stem.
