After learning about parts of a flower and their functions, try this prediction activity. You will need four or five white flowers, such as carnations, a clear cup to hold each flower, and four or five colors of food coloring. Color the water in each cup a different color and place one flower in each cup. The children can draw the colored water and say what they think will happen to the flowers. The next day have the children check to see if their prediction was correct. Did the blue water turn the flower blue? This can be done in small group.
