Plants and Flowers

Granddad bought this wonderful book not too long ago and we've been reading it just about every day...several times a day...for weeks!  :)

Today was a science day, so we followed up with our bean sprout and spent some time looking at it in detail and identifying all the different parts.  It had come far enough along that we could see the leaves coming out of the bean and the roots were developing really well.  (please excuse the nasty rag - it's one we use for painting)

To see how water travels through a flower, we did the classic food color and daisies experiment.  It's still so much fun!

Fresh white daisies!

I filled them ALL UP with water!

All of the color added in...they're so pretty :)

10 minutes later...it's turning blue already!  We could see the blue and the green pretty quickly and in about an hour we could see the yellow and red starting to come into the petals.  I can't wait to see what they look like in the morning!
