  1. Science Fair Project Colorful Carnations Biology Mallory Running

  2. Statement of the Problem • The problem is that white flowers change colors in colored water.

  3. Project Overview • The project overview was that my hypotheses was correct.

  4. Research • There are several different colors of carnations • Live in different climates • Live on average for seven days out of soil • Need LOTS of sunlight • Drink about 2 oz. of water a day

  5. Variables • Independent variable: the color of the water • Dependent variable: the color of the flower petals • Constant variables: amount of water, amount of sunlight, type of flower, amount of food coloring, temp. of water, temp. of air • Control group: the group with no food coloring in the water

  6. Hypothesis • If you put blue food coloring in white flower’s water, then the flowers will turn blue because the plant with deliver the colored water the petals of the plant.

  7. Materials • Six glass cups • One bottle of neon blue food dye • Six white carnations • Six cups of water • Scissors

  15. Conclusion • What I learned from this experiment is that plants adjust to their surroundings rather quickly. The data supports me hypothesis to be correct.

  16. Possible Experimental Errors • One of the possible experimental errors is that the water that I put into the cups was not exactly the same temperature. This may have affected my data by causing a chemical reaction with the dye, causing it to work better on the flower or not work as well on the flowers.

  17. Applications and Recommendations • For future experiments, I would recommend not only starting the whole project earlier, but to put more drops of dye into the water.
