Read the information, then answer the questions. An adult may read the instructions aloud. Show your working where asked.

Read before answering

Fictional adult demonstration record: a cut white flower stands in green water. At hour 2, no colour is recorded at the top. At hour 5, the observer records green traces in some petals. Coloured water can reveal a transport pathway. Adults cut stems and handle colouring; do not taste plants or water.
