What We Knew:
Flowers need water to grow.
What We Wanted to Know:
What would happen if we placed a coloured paper towel flower in water?
What We Learnt:
As the flower absorbed the water, the colours spread across the petals. We discovered that this happens because of capillary action, where water travels through tiny spaces.
Making the Connection:
Just like our paper towel flower, real plants absorb water through their roots and carry it to their leaves and flowers, helping them grow and bloom.
