Color Changing Flowers Experiment - Part 3

Dr. Boyd, a chemist, demonstrates an experiment to change the color of white carnation petals using water-based food coloring. The experiment involves placing the flower in dyed water of different colors over several days to observe the color change. The process is safe, with gloves recommended to avoid staining hands. The result is a multicolored carnation, encouraging viewers to try it themselves.

What materials are required for the color-changing carnation experiment?

• Scissors, water-based food coloring, and a white carnation

• A knife, water, and a red carnation

• A brush, water, and a yellow carnation

• A cup, oil-based paint, and a blue carnation

What is the main objective of the experiment described by Dr. Boyd?

• To see if the flower can grow in colored water

• To find out if the flower can absorb oil-based paint

• To observe if the flower petals change color when placed in dyed water

• To determine if the flower can survive without water

What is the sequence of colors used in the experiment to dye the carnation?

• Yellow, then red, then blue

• Red, then blue, then red, then blue

• Blue, then red, then yellow

• Red, then green, then blue

What safety precaution does Dr. Boyd suggest during the experiment?

• Keeping the flower in a sealed container

• Wearing gloves to prevent dye from staining your hands

• Using a mask to avoid inhaling fumes

• Wearing goggles to protect your eyes

What was the result of placing a red-dyed flower in blue dye?

• The flower turned completely blue
