“I think we learn as we play – the silly experiments we come up with today could be at the core of very serious solutions we develop tomorrow.”

Octopuses are smart! They play with toys, pull off daring escapes, and are masters of disguise. But they’re also smart in a lot of ways that the human mind probably can’t comprehend. For example, they basically have independent brains in their arms!
Materials: 1. 3 white carnations 2. Scissors 3. Food coloring 4. 3 small cups 5. Water Steps: 1. First, get the 3 small cups and add 3/4 of the cup with water. 2. Next, in each cup at 8 drops of food coloring of your choice. (Make sure to pour different colors for in each cup to create more multi colorful flowers) 3. Then, snip the last centimeter of the carnations' stem and place each flower in the colored water. 4. Finally, wait for 2-4 days to see the results. Lesson: Transpiration is when plants draw water up through its stem, and , thus, the water evaporates from the leaves' stomata. As the water evaporates, it creates pressure that brings more water into the plant. Since the water had color, it made the flowers become that color.

Hi everyone! I'm Ashley P. and I'm a Girl Scout who wants to make a difference in the world. Currently, I've been working on my Gold Award Project, which is a project where Girl Scouts solve an issue in their community to earn the Gold Award. The Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. In my project, I'm addressing the issue on how there are a lack of women in the STEM field by creating a program to do fun science experiments with younger girls. Also, I constructed this blog for parents and children to do exciting and simple experiments with their kids to spark a passion in this subject like what happened to me as a child. I hope you enjoy and try to accomplish the experiments I post! Also, please have adult supervision while completing these experiments.
