Giovanna Caruso - I.C.S Perri-Pitagora - Lamezia Terme

 Our Magic Flowers is powered by a groovy scientific phenomenon called 'capillary action'. Thanks to capillary action, paper absorbs water very rapidly. When paper gets wet, it swells which causes the folded petals of our Magic Flowers to open up.

When paper comes into contact with water, the incredible power of capillary action quickly draws water into all these small spaces. It is because water is slightly more attracted to the wood fibers than to itself. The same principle helps trees and plants lift water from the roots to the leaves. The sun provides that extra touch of lift required by the evaporation of water from tiny holes in the leaves called stomata.
