Plants absorb water through a process called osmosis, this is the movement of water across a membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Paper is made from trees (wood) that has been ground into a pulp and dried. Let’s Talk STEAM The Science Absorption and Osmosis Step 9 As the paper absorbs water the petals will open and the color will be distributed through out the entire blossom.Step 8 Place the blossom in a plate filled with water.Step 7 Turn the blossom over and add details in black permanent marker such as Pigma Sensei Pens.Step 6 Color the side with the dotted lines using Koi Watercolor Pens or water based markers.Step 1 Print template on an8 1/2” X 11” sheet of paper.In Step 5 color leaf tips only. Place folded flower inside folded leaf and place in water. To make optional leaves Repeat steps above using the leaf template.Step 9 As the paper absorbs water the petals will open and the color will be distributed throughout the entire blossom.Step 8 Place the blossom in a shallow dish filled with water.The black details should be in the inside of the blossom Step 7 Fold petals along dashed lines.Step 6 Turn the blossom over and add details in black permanent marker such as Pigma Sensei Pens.Step 5 Color the side with the dotted lines using Koi Watercolor Pens or water based markers.Step 4 Cut out blossoms along solid black line.Step 2 Cut out individual squares along dotted line.
