PHOTOSYNTHESIS
To wrap up our Plant Study, we looked into the process of Photosynthesis. We talked about the source of light, the water and the carbon dioxide that the plant needed to produce oxygen.
I printed a few worksheets from Education.com for him to work on. 
Here's a helpful animation about Photosynthesis.
LIFE CYCLE OF A PLANT
Another worksheet from Education.com, here ordering the stages of a plant's life.
EXPERIMENT
To see how the fluids move inside the plant, we did a little experiment. We put some stalks of celery into a glass of water containing a blue food coloring.
The results as of Day 1. The leaves and the tip of the stalks have blue spots and the leaves turned into blue. That's because the blue water has been transported around the plants :) I love how visible the blue pigments are in the leaves! (You can click the pictures for a much bigger image)

Thank you! It's Dr. Oetker Blue food coloring. I really have no idea what its made LOL because I just randomly pick it from the grocery. This one stains on hands though, when I tried using it in coloring our play dough.
