Pssst! Guess what?! You can make a flower change color. You need:

• a white carnation
• water
• food coloring

1. Fill a cup with water. Add several drops of your favorite food coloring to the water. (You can mix blue and red to make purple, blue and yellow to make green, or red and yellow to make orange.)
2. Cut the end of the carnation at an angle. Place the flower into the colored water.
3. Observe the flower for several days. Its petals should change to match the color of the water! Why? As water travels up through the stem and into the flower, it carries the dye with it, changing the petals from white to a new color.
