Color Changing Flowers Experiment - Part 1

Dr. Boyd, a chemist, conducts an experiment to change the color of white carnation petals using dyed water, inspired by students at Ruth's Public Charter School. The video outlines the materials needed, recaps a similar celery experiment, and provides a step-by-step guide to the procedure. Observations are made at intervals, showing the gradual color change in the petals, confirming the hypothesis that dye in water can alter petal color.

What materials do you need to conduct the experiment on changing the color of white carnation petals?

Explain the process of how water travels in a plant and how it relates to the experiment.

What hypothesis can you form about the effect of dye in the water on the carnation petals?

Describe the observations you should make during the experiment at different time intervals.

What conclusions can be drawn from the experiment regarding the color change of the carnation petals?
