We set out to solve this problem.
The children came up with lots of ideas. Finn said that the flowers suck up the water in their stems. James said they need water and light. We talked about how we could test this. We put a flower in water in the light, one in the light without water, one in the dark with water and one in the dark without water. We are going to check these during the week.
We have put some food colouring into water to see if the flowers do take up the water through their stems. We discussed what we might see and which colour might change the flowers first. We cant wait to find out!
