We carried out an investigation of how plants use water. We put some white carnations into a vase full of water and then added some red food dye to the water. We put the vase into the quiet room overnight and then we all went into the hall and Mrs Carter & Mrs Abel brought the vase into the hall to show us what had happened! We discovered that the white flowers had turned pink.
Here are some of the children showing everyone the pink flowers!! When we were asked what we thought had happened we discovered that plants suck the water up through their stems and because the water was red when it got to the flowers it turned them pink/red!
