At St. Joseph Middle School, 4th graders learned about plants in Life Science last week, which included a hands-on experiment to explore how water moves through a plant! "Using celery stalks placed in cups of colored water, students observed how the water traveled upward through the plant over time. At the beginning of the experiment, students made predictions and drawings of what they thought the celery would look like. When we returned on day two, students were very excited to see what had happened!" explained Mrs. Gooch, 4th grade teacher. What a fun experiment! #FaithLearningLiving
