White Carnation Science Project<\/h2>\n

Even though it was a very long time ago, I still remember doing this in class when I was in kindergarten. I remember how excited I got when the flower started changing colors. I also remember teaching my friends this trick when I was in 7th grade and we had a fund-raiser selling carnations. Learn more about the science behind it\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fill a glass one-half full with water. Add around 20-30 drops of red, blue, green, or yellow food coloring to the water.<\/li>\n
  2. Take a white carnation and carefully cut the stem at an angle. Kids will need help with this because you should use sharp scissors or a knife to do this.<\/li>\n
  3. Immediately put the stem into the water. Set aside and wait for the magic to happen. It usually takes a few hours before you will start seeing a color change. Look at your flower each day and take note of the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
