- That’s it! We will announce the winner Saturday of Easter Weekend (April 3rd)
With spring and flowers arriving soon, we’ve composed an educational and fun biology activity to get excited about the warming weather.
The activity requires:
- White Flower(s)
- Jar(s) or Vase(s)
- Food colouring
- Water
The steps:
- Fill your Jar(s) or Vase(s) about ½ full with water
- Add 25 drops of food colouring to each Jar/Vase—choose a few different colours for more fun! Try mixing them to make unique colours, too!
- Trim the bottom of the flowers and place them in the Jar(s)/Vase(s)
- Try experimenting with the length of the stem and make predictions about how this will change the process
- Set the Jar(s)/Vase(s) somewhere safe
- You will see the colour of the flowers start to change in about 24 hours!
- Take a picture of your flowers and the experiment and post it on Facebook with the hashtags #EasterContest #STEMCamp #AprilBreakCamp, and don’t forget to tag STEM Camp! You can do this right after you complete the initial steps, or after your flowers have changed colours.
- Check back on April 3rd for the announcement of the winner!
We Hope to See You All at April Break Camp — April 12 – April 16!
