Simple Kids Experiment: Traveling Water

Today, we will show you a video of us trying out the travelling water experiment. We will try if water can really travel through the tissues, from one cup to the empty cup.

What you will need:

5 empty cups
water
food coloring
tissue paper
What it does:

The experiment shows a process called "capillary action". The water travels at the gaps between the fiber strands of the tissues. Did you know that this is also how water goes up from the roots of the plants to the different branches, stems, and leaves?
