How Can You Change the Color of a Leaf?

You will use:

     Drinking glass
     Celery stalk
     Red Ink
     Water

Do this:

1. Add red ink to the half-glass of water.

2.Place a celery stalk in the glass. Leave in there for several hours.

3.Cut the stem should red.

4.Cut the stem crosswise in several places to see the tubes that carried the water to the leaves.

Why it works:

     A the colored water was the inside of the tiny tubes in the celery, they draw the water up higher that the level of water in the glass. this is called "capillary action".
