An assessment based on the Daisy Experiment that helps children understand the science behind flowers changing their colors to blue, red and green. The concepts that were introduced in this experiment were Transpiration; Capillary Action; Photosynthesis and Chlorophyll.
Plants absorb water that rains from the sky through a process called absorption.
Plants drink water and it travels up the stem through a process called capillary action.
Water travels through the stem by a magnetic pull.
Question 2
Question
Why did the flower in the experiment change color?
Answer
Because the flower absorbed the dye in the water.
Because some of the dye accidentally dropped on the leaves
All flowers change colors after some time.
Question 3
Question
Bigger plants absorb water through a process called photosynthesis, in order to make sure that the water travels to the higher parts.
Answer
True
False
Question 4
Question
Chlorophyll is a green pigment that is present in all green plants and its responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
Answer
True
False
Question 5
Question
How does capillary action occur?
Answer
There is a chemical action between the stem molecules and the water molecules that allow for them to create and exchange energy.
Water accumulates in the stem and so the water level gets higher within the stem.
Water molecules stick together and to the walls of the tube as they are climbing up the stem. They will continue to climb until gravity is too much.
