Transpiration Project

MORE DECKS TO EXPLORE
PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Mrs. Hughes created and experiment and asked us where the water went. She told us that it was whizzing through the air above us. She told us it was because of the process transpiration. Now every single thought on our mind lately is...
How does Transpiration work?
There's really nothing to it. It's so easy to explain.

TRANSPIRATION IS PART OF THE EVAPORATION PROCESS
and evaporation is part of the water cycle.

THE PROCESS OF TRANSPIRATION GOES LIKE THIS
- Roots
- Xylem
- Stem
- Leaves
- Stomates
- Guard Cells
- Water Vapor

First the water enters the roots. Roots are a part of the plant that anchors it down and collects water. They usually would be found underground. When the water enters the roots it starts on its wonderful little journey.

Then the roots zip through the xylem. The xylem is found tucked away inside the stem. They're like little straws that suck all the water up through the plant. The stem holds the xylems inside. The xylems are the little things that get stuck in your teeth when you eat celery. It's very important that the stem is sturdy or it won't be able to protect the plant and its inside. The plant would just flop around in the wind.

The water then travels up to the leaves. They're one of the last things in the process to be hit with water. Within the leaves you'll find the stomates and the guard cells. The stomates are like little holes that let the water out of the plant. Now by this time the water is no longer liquid, but it's a gas. When the water exits the plant it becomes water vapor.

But there also is the issue of the guard cells. They are what watch the stomates and prevent them sometimes on getting water out. Like if it's winter. The guard cells will block the stomates and prevent having too much water be released from the plant.

When you think about it. The process is very similar to headphones. The electricity zips up the wires inside the cord. It then travels to the speaker part of the headphones and comes out as sound. And the sound differs volumes because of the volume buttons, so some of it is blocked.
