Flower Food Coloring Experiment
I just love this color changing flowers science experiment! It is really easy to do and the kids love watching the flowers change color. We think it is the perfect science activity for spring! I even created printable recording sheets that kids in preschool and early elementary can use to show their observations. The celery experiment is based on the same principle.
A proper project abstract, method, conclusion and a good research to gather background information are the key ingredients to make this science fair experiment a success. The natural color change is pretty quick and can be seen to start just within an hour of placing the flowers in the food dye. Learn the science behind changing flower color with food coloring and try this experiment with white roses or other flowers.

See the steps, tips, and results of this natural science activity for kids. What happens if you try doing 5 drops of food coloring instead of 3 drops? Keep a picture log of your flower. Take a picture each day, and see how many days does it take for your flower's petals to look the most saturated in color.
Try using other types of flowers. Do they work as well? Why do you think we suggested using white flowers? Try color changing flowers with your preschoolers this spring. The classic experiment lets kids learn about flowers and the scientific method.
