Cameron's topic in Science at the moment is plants.
He came home all excited yesterday telling me that we had to buy a bunch of white tulips and food colouring.
I had the food colouring already, so when we went to the shops later to get something for dinner, we also picked up a bunch of tulips from the florist. Luckily tulips are everywhere at the moment, and a bunch of 7 cost us a cheap 2 euros!
He cut the stems down on the tulips. Filled glasses with water and food colouring and added the tulips
24 hours later, this is what the tulips look like.
The food colouring has worked it's way up the stem of the tulips, and changed the colour of the petal. I couldn't get a great close up of the tulips to show you how amazing they look close up.
This was a lot of fun.
