• That’s it! We will announce the winner Saturday of Easter Weekend (April 3^rd)

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:

1. Fill your Jar(s) or Vase(s) about ½ full with water
2. 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!
3. Trim the bottom of the flowers and place them in the Jar(s)/Vase(s)
4. Try experimenting with the length of the stem and make predictions about how this will change the process
5. Set the Jar(s)/Vase(s) somewhere safe
6. You will see the colour of the flowers start to change in about 24 hours!
7. 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.
8. Check back on April 3^rd for the announcement of the winner!

We Hope to See You All at April Break Camp — April 12 – April 16!
