Celery Stick Osmosis Kids Activity

This celery kids activity is a great way to show kids how osmosis works. It's a fun little science experiment.

What you Will Need For Osmosis Kids Activity

1 Celery Stick
2 Glasses Of Water
2 Different Colors of Food Coloring

Directions for Osmosis Kids Activity

Put a seperate color of food coloring in each of the two glasses of water.
We used blue and red food coloring.
Cut your celery stick in two halfway up the stick and stick each end into a different cup.

Let the stick soke up the water for a day and then take a look at how the celery stick soaked up the different colors of water. The threads in the stick will have either a blue tint or a red tint in them. The water goes from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
