Capillary action investigation

In Y3 we have been exploring how water moves through a plant.  Lots of us thought that the roots sucked in the water but now we know that the water moves up the plant using a process called capillary action.  The children particularly enjoyed using the pipettes to put the drops of food dye into the water.  Well done Year 3, by the end of the lesson the only person who accidentally dripped dye onto the carpet was me!
