First Science Project

Can A Flower Change It's Petals?

This project was to teach Kaycie and Jolie that a flower carries water from it's roots, up it's stem, and into the petal and leaves. Kaycie and Jolie are learning some of the basic parts of plants and flowers.

We took a light yellow rose and put it in a vase of red dyed water. The red dye got carried all the way into the petals.

These are our pictures from Day 1 and 2. I will post another photo when the project is complete.
After one day we could already see some of the dye in the petals.This photo shows Kaycie with Gym Bear. She is Team Leader again this week for preschool. I took this picture of her next to her grass. She grew this grass herself with seeds and lots of love.
