• Patience!

Instructions

2. Squeeze 6-8 drops of food coloring into water
3. Place freshly cut celery stalk into your water and food coloring mixture (use the celery to mix in the food coloring)
4. Here’s the hard part – let your experiment sit for several hours. Feel free to check on it regularly to observe what changes are happening!
