Science for Kids: Capillary Action (Rainbow Walking Water)



We are living in an interesting time with COVID-19.   School has switched to e-learning and the kids are home for the rest of the year.   If you are like our family there are good moments and then there are the times the kids are going a little stir crazy!  Well there are lots of cool science experiments out there that can give the kids some entertainment while still learning.

This experiment is in a video format, however be sure to check out the other "Science for Kids" activities I have blogged on in the past.

Link to other activities!


As for the experiment we are going to do today, it is a very simple one to do at home.   It helps explain and show  how water can actually move UP.  A really tall tree still needs water to reach all the way to the top.  How does this work?  Well let's take a look to find out.

Enjoy trying this experiment out!  If you would like to go directly to You Tube just click this link:  Science for Kids: Capillary Action (Water Walking Rainbow) Experiment and Video
