We are learning about the features of a plant. We put a white flower in some food colouring to learn about how water moves around a flower. Here are some photos of what happened. We learnt that the water is drawn up inside the flower through the stem
The beginning.
After 10 minutes the small flowers have started turning pink.
After 20 minutes, the small flowers are much pinker.
After 30 minutes the small flowers are very pink and have drawn up a lot of the dye.
After 24 hours the large white flower is pink and the small flowers are bright red. We talked about the size of the stem and the flower which meant the smaller flowers got the dye into their petals earlier.

That's a great experiment.
