What do a flower and a straw have in common?

Since the Kohavim children are so interested in Science, we are often doing different kinds of experiments with them. Today we had three white carnations, each in a container of water. We talked about what flowers need to live, and asked the children what they thought would happen if we added different food coloring to each container. Mia thought that: " the water would go all the way up to the flowers. If it's in purple water, the flower will turn purple." With equal conviction, Teddy Fox said: "The water will get colored but not the flower." The rest of the class was divided in their opinions. When asked how long they thought it would take to see something, answers ranged from "five minutes" to "100 years." We will check in with the experiment tomorrow and share our findings and some photos. Sorry, no photos today.
