2.2. Water: Children will talk about how plants need water in order to live, and how
we need water too. To illustrate this need, the teacher will provide each table a piece of
celery, water, a cup and food coloring. By tables, children are going to put the celery
stick on the cup, fill the cup with water and put food-coloring drops on it. They will
make predictions about what will happen with the celery, and how will the plant drink
all that water. The next day, kids will be able to observe what happens and talk about it.
