Cenneidigh and the personal science experiment

The yellow flower now in the red water.
The blue flower in the yellow water now.
The red flower now in the blue.
The second round of primary colors at the end of the experiment.
The first experiment all the flowers in one color.

Cenneidigh wanted to try an experiment one of her friends did for the science fair, so we went to the store and bought three carnations and food coloring. Cenneidigh set it all up and put one flower in each primary color. She used red, yellow and blue. The flowers sucked up the color and she was amazed. Then we cut off the stems and stuck the flowers in one of the other colors to see what would happen. The yellow flower in red, the blue flower in yellow, and the red flower in blue. See the above photos for the results. She had fun figuring out if her friends experiment would really work and then it did. Amazing!!!!

Isn't science fun! My favorite subjects in school were the sciences especially when we got to Physics in college. Keep enjoying all the fun things you can do and learn.
