**THE STUDY OF COLOR CHANGING FLOWERS **
Jordan B 2012-2013

**ABSTRACT **
====The purpose of this study was to determine if the amount of red food coloring drops (5,12,20) in the water that the daisies are soaking in will effects if white daisies will change the petals color. Flowers have something called a receptacle in every flower it connects the bud to the stem or stalk and that’s how the water gets to the bud. Three different amounts of red food coloring drops were put in three different beakers with three white daisies and were then measured at a 6 hour time lapse and a 24 hour time lapse. It was determined that 20 drops of red food coloring is more effective than 5. Flowers need water to survive and so when flowers soak up the water and the water is divided all over the flowers and some goes to the petals therefore the more red food coloring that’s in the water the better the flowers will change color. ====

**Experimental Improvements and Future Experiments **
An improvement to this experiment is that the amount of red food coloring sometimes there might have been one drop more than needed. This would help because it would be exact amount needed rather than being off by one and it could'nt effect the experiment. A way to expand this experiment is to see if the flower already has color if you can chane the color. To see my oringinal piece click here
