Kitty's teacher usually makes her students do a science project but this year she made it optional - I'm not sure if it is because she assigned it late or she just decided to do things differently this year. So Kitty was not required to do one but we decided to do it anyways. She chose to do a project on how food coloring added to water affects the color of flowers. I bought some white daisies at the store and we put one group of flowers in plain water and then added food coloring to the water of the other flower groups. We also had two flowers that we tried splitting the stem down the middle and placing each half in a different color.
I wish we had had more time because by the time Kitty needed to write it up the flowers were just barely turning colors and the two-color ones hadn't really changed much at all. It was kind of neat seeing them turn different colors though.
