Material/Apparatus:

Red dye
2 dicot plant (celery)
2 beakers
1 razor
Water
1 glass slide
1 cover slip
1 microscope
1 ruler
1 petri dish
1 magnifying glass
Method:

1. Gather all materials needed.


2. Wash and clean all apparatus.
3. Wash soil off the fresh celery plant obtained
4. Place the celery onto a petri dish and remove the roots with the aid of the razor
5. Obtain two beakers and labelled them A and B respectively.
6. Fill each beaker with equal amounts of water.
7. Place 3 scoops of dye using a spatula into Beaker A and then leave to dissolve.
8. Place one of the celery plant into beaker A and another into beaker B.
9. Leave the beaker with the celeries to then sit for 24hrs.
10. Observe the external parts of both plants and record your observations in an appropriate
table.
11. Remove both celery plants from each beakers.
12. Measure each and then cut 1cm of the celery from bottom to top continuously using the
razor.
13. Prepare two slides and label them according to the beaker labels.
14. Place each slice that was cut into their respective slide.
15. Observe each slice for the presence of dye and record observation in an appropriate table.
