  13. This week, we were very excited doing our science experiment: How does a plant drink water? <\/strong>We wrote down our hypothesis: Water won’t move up!, OR, water moves up! Then, we observed our celery for few days to check for any changes. Finally, we wrote down our findings. We noticed that the celery leaves turned to blue and red(the food coloring we used)! That proved the water actually moved up! And this is how a plant drinks water!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
