Where does the water go when a plant is watered? With this experiment, children can discover for themselves how essential the functions of roots and stems are to plant growth. As the colored water is absorbed, students will be able to see how the water is absorbed into the plant and the petals of the carnation change color.

    If you were to put that colored end back into fresh water, would the color stay?

    The flower drinks the water from the stem to the petals, and the more it drinks, it will change color

    For an extra cool twist, split the stem in quarters and have each quarter in different colours. An ice cube tray helps with this. You get the most amazing effect!

    This happens because the water is flowing through the veins and since it is colored it turns that color
