Everyone welcome! # Year 3 - Science- How is water transported through plants? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-6423E2BF-6CC0-4510-9827-0040A9D5A8CE.png) 8 May 2025 This afternoon, Year 3 scientists carried out an experiment to see the transportation of water inside plants. We used white flowers and put them in different coloured water, green, red, and blue. We're going to watch carefully to see how the coloured water moves up into the flower's petals through tiny tubes called xylem. This process will help the children understand how the xylem helps with the transportation of water from the bottom all the way to the top. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-6423E2BF-6CC0-4510-9827-0040A9D5A8CE.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/89F12E0D-34A9-46C8-BBCF-2AF77A4DC292.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-07-reception-year-1-and-year-2-story-and-craft-club) Previous ### [Reception, Year 1 and Year 2- Story and Craft Club ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-07-reception-year-1-and-year-2-story-and-craft-club) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/BEF4AC7F-D3DB-45ED-BCC8-80FC2920EBFF.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-09-friday-celebration-worship) Next ### [Friday Celebration Worship ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-09-friday-celebration-worship) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
