I just love this color changing flowers science experiment! It is really easy to do and the kids love watching the flowers change color. We think it is the perfect science activity for spring! I even created printable recording sheets that kids in preschool and early elementary can use to show their observations. This color changing flowers experiment is a favorite and ideal for a preschool science activity and a lesson on capillary action in plants for elementary, middle, and high school students.
Includes a printable with two levels of observation sheets. The celery experiment is based on the same principle. A proper project abstract, method, conclusion and a good research to gather background information are the key ingredients to make this science fair experiment a success.
The natural color change is pretty quick and can be seen to start just within an hour of placing the flowers in the food dye. Fun color changing flower experiment for kids! Easy spring science with color changing flowers is a bit of magic and natural science! Try color changing flowers with your preschoolers this spring. The classic experiment lets kids learn about flowers and the scientific method.
You can use any white flowers for this color changing flower experiment, we used large white daisies, but you could use white roses or carnations. The important thing is to use white flowers so that you can see the color changes clearly. Make sure that you cut the stems diagonally across the bottom so they can drink up the colored water easily.
Use the color changing flowers experiment to turn a rose blue. This Spring science activity for kids is both fun and easy. This easy color changing flower experiment is a super fun science activity for kids! Learn about the capillary system with a little bit of botanical magic.
