  1. I like the experiment with the capillary action of the molecules in the material, wicking the water up to plant containers. I will add this one to our plant experiments. We take large white carnations that have been taken out of water for a day and place them individually in various colors of water (using food coloring). The color from the water is wicked into the petals changing their color and illustrating how plants " drink". It makes a beautiful bouquet of flowers!
