We love a good science experiment and this one did not disappoint. It was really neat to watch the flowers change colors. If you are looking for a science activity to try this spring, you should definitely give this one a go!

Supplies Needed:

• White carnations
• Liquid food coloring in a variety of colors

Instructions:

1. To start you will want to trim down the stems of the flower so they fit your cups or glasses.
2. Add water to each cup.
3. Then put about 10-15 drops of food coloring in the water and stir around a bit.
4. Add at least one carnation to each glass of colored water.
5. Check in on the flowers every couple of hours and observe any changes.
