Another class received similar data in their investigation and found that it appears water enters plants through the roots and exits through the leaves when light shines on it.
Below are three students’ claims to answer the question “What happens to the water inside the plant?”
The following student wrote a claim to answer the question: What happens to the water inside the plant?
Explain if you think the following student is correct. Using evidence from today's investigation to explain why.
Student A: The same water molecules that come into the plant through the roots go out of the plant through the leaves. They just flow through the plant without changing.
The following student wrote a claim to answer the question: What happens to the water inside the plant?
Explain if you think the following student is correct. Using evidence from today's investigation to explain why.
Student B: Some of the water molecules are used by the plant to make food molecules while some of the water molecules pass straight through the plant unchanged.

Explain if you think the following student is correct. Using evidence from today's investigation to explain why.
Student C: The water molecules that go into the plant are used to make food molecules. Water molecules come out of the leaves due to chemical reactions happening in the plant.
