How do Plants Carry Water Uphill? Review of an Interactive Exhibition on the International Plant Fascination Day

We rarely, if ever, notice that water in plants is transported uphill, from the soil to the leaves. In a river, or when turning on a faucet, water flows downhill easily and quickly. Now, if we want the water to flow uphill, we know that we will need a pump to transport it, for example, from a cister...

In a river, or when turning on a faucet, water flows downhill easily and quickly. Now, if we want the water to flow uphill, we know that we will need a pump to transport it, for example, from a cistern to the tank located on the roof of our house. So: how do trees do that? Together with the audience, students from 10 to 12 years old, we progressively constructed the desired answer, using different didactic resources, which facilitated the understanding of some theoretical contents of the physic-chemistry of water, foliar transpiration, xylem and cell wall characteristics.   Pocas veces, o nunca, advertimos que el agua en las plantas se transporta cuesta arriba, desde el suelo hasta las hojas. Mientras que, en un río o en un grifo abierto, el agua fluye cuesta abajo con facilidad. Si pretendemos que el líquido fluya cuesta arriba, necesitaremos de una bomba para transportarla, por ejemplo, desde una cisterna hasta el tanque ubicado en el techo de nuestra vivienda. Entonces: ¿cómo hacen eso los árboles? Junto con el auditorio, estudiantes de 10 a 12 años de edad, se construyó progresivamente la respuesta buscada, utilizamos distintos recursos didácticos, que facilitaron la comprensión de algunos contenidos teóricos de la física-química del agua, de la transpiración foliar, de las características del xilema y de la pared celular.   Asociación de Docentes de Ciencias Biológicas de la Argentina 2023-01-02 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/revistaadbia/article/view/38506 10.59524/2344-9225.v26.n1.38506 ark:/s23449225/16grzms2r Journal of Biology Education; Vol. 26 No. 1 (2023): Journal of Biology Education; 103-109 Revista de Educación en Biología; Vol. 26 Núm. 1 (2023): Revista de Educación en Biología; 103-109 2344-9225 0329-5192 10.59524/2344.9225.v26.n1 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/revistaadbia/article/view/38506/40366 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/revistaadbia/article/view/38506/40367 Derechos de autor 2023 Silvana Ursula Cherbiy Hoffmann, Jesús D.
