Observation of Celery in Colored Water Experiment
Date: [Insert Date]
Time: [Insert Starting Time]
Cup 1 Observations:
-
10 Minutes: The celery has started to soak up some of the blue water. The leaves are beginning to show a hint of blue at the tips. The color of the water is still bright blue.
-
20 Minutes: The blue color is now more visible in the leaves. The veins of the celery have absorbed the blue water, and the edges of the leaves are starting to turn a light blue. The water level is slightly lower.
-
30 Minutes: The leaves are significantly blue now, especially the edges and veins. The celery stalk itself has taken on a blue hue, and the water is noticeably lower. The leaves are very vibrant!
Cup 2 Observations:
-
10 Minutes: Similar to Cup 1, the celery is beginning to absorb the blue water. The tips of the leaves are starting to show some color, but not as much as in Cup 1. The water remains bright blue.
-
20 Minutes: The celery leaves now show a little more blue, but they’re still not as colorful as those in Cup 1. The veins are starting to take on a hint of blue. The water level is also slightly decreasing.
-
30 Minutes: After 30 minutes, the leaves are much greener than those in Cup 1, with just a touch of blue at the edges. The celery stalk has minimal color change, and the water has decreased slightly but is still bright blue.
Summary of Observations:
Both cups had celery with leaves in blue water, and they both started to absorb the color. Cup 1 showed a more vibrant blue in both the leaves and the stalk compared to Cup 2, which had a lighter blue tint. This experiment illustrates how plants can absorb water and nutrients through their stems, and we can visualize this process with the colored water.
