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...

| Sumario: | 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 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.
