After you prepared all of the materials you will start your experiment follow the procedure. First step, put water in jar, Add add red food coloring, put celery in water and wait for three days
After three days you will see the result of the experiment that the stalk and leaves of the celery turned red. Then, record the changed.
When you finished your observation, you can present this project by making graph, chart and table of results.
The last step is conclusion. To make the conclusion is to summarize your project. From this project, the conclusion is Plants carry water through the stem of the celery up to the leaves.
Doing experiment is not difficult like many people think. It’s fun and interesting. It helps us to explored new things like this project show you that red celery are exists. You can think of more questions about things around you and start your own project with the same steps as this experiment.
