Hands-On Science

Alex had his first science experiment today. The school day was extra long because we had to make a Wal-Mart run this morning to pick up the things he needed for the experiment. We got a late start, but for the most part, it was a fun day.

The experiment was to observe how water moves through plants. We used celery and a white rose as our plants, and we used blue food coloring in the water so that we could actually see the water moving through them. Alex had fun with this experiment mostly because it got him out of the office for a change. :-) It was pretty cool to watch the leaves and petals turning blue, though.
