May 10: The Botanist

Here goes…

Step 1 – put your chrysanthemum (the white flower) into some water, quick!

Step 2 – have a really good look at it.

Step 2a – try again and this time have a really good look!

Step 3 – add some food colouring to the water. Wait (for an hour perhaps) and watch!

Step 4 – take a photo and email it to think.physics@northumbria.ac.uk or tweet a picture to us @thinkphysicsne

What’s all this about?

Today I’ve been busy at Burnside Primary School.

This afternoon we became brilliant botanists and you can find out all about it by clicking here.

We’ll be back at Burnside soon!
