Leaf Propelled by Ink

Explore the fascinating science of how liquids can move through different materials with this fun and hands-on activity! In the Leaf Propelled by Ink project, you'll use ink and a leaf to demonstrate capillary action, the process that allows liquids to travel through tiny tubes or fibers, like in plants. By adding ink to the leaf’s veins, you’ll see how it moves and spreads through the material in real-time!

This experiment helps you understand how plants absorb water and nutrients, and how ink can mimic this natural process. Through observing the movement of the ink, you'll gain insight into the importance of capillary action in the environment and everyday life.

Perfect for students learning about plant biology and capillary action. Get ready to experiment with ink and discover how liquids travel inside a leaf!
