We have been learning a lot about the types of waste that are produced all around us. Solids: skin cells, hair, food waste, excrement Liquids: water waste, urine Gases: carbon dioxide, oxygen Students were introduced to the term and process "Transpiration". Riley L. explains that "Transpiration is when [water] goes up the roots, the stem and out the leaves". The plant has used all of the water it can and expels the rest as waste. In order to see this and understand it more, we conducted a mini-experiment. We are going to wait a couple more days as you can see moisture forming in the plastic bag and a few water droplets. |
