CC:  (1) The students may explore how roots are used to absorb water by conducting an investigation using plants with roots and also plants with the roots removed. Request that students determine the variables, establish a control, make predictions, and record their findings in their journals. The students should observe the differences in the appearances of the leaves of the two tested plants especially the firmness of the leaves. They should record their observations in drawings and in writing in their journals or in a brochure about plants.

Samples of suggested activity sheets are attached for students to use in their exploration.
