3-year-olds: The Blue Carnation Experiment

If carnation flowers "drink" blue water, will they turn blue?

 That is the question the 3-year-olds asked,

so we conducted an experiment:

                    White carnations in plain water

          Adding blue food coloring to the water

Here is the prediction each preschooler made

           

At the end of the day, here are our carnations -- they are turning blue!

                 At the end of two days, here are how the carnations look.

                    At the end of six days, here are how the carnations look.
