We enjoyed a science experiment today that we thought we would share. We wanted to see what would happen to our white carnation flowers if the water that was feeding them was a different color. As you can see, we had a huge success. The Kid's Science Book is full of fun hands on activities for children. I had geared this experiment more towards my eight and six year old, then realized that it is suited for little ones as well.
This one's stem was actually split to see what would happen if one side was in red and the other side of the stem was in the blue. The flower turned both red and blue, on their appropriate sides.

I remember doing this for a science fair project when I was in 1st or 2nd grade! Its really neat! looks like your little ones really enjoyed it!
They turn out so beautiful! YOu should try it next time with "Queen Anne's Lace" Flowers. You could probally find them on the tobacco trail.
I love chatting with you this week. Love you guys!
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun experimenting with the carnations and the new colours look great. Well Done!
