Magical Blooming Flowers |Easy DIY Science Experiment for Kids!!!

Описание: This blooming flowers experiment will make your kids believe in science magic! Your preschooler and elementary school kids will love designing their own paper flowers. We had tons of fun designing and cutting out our flowers.

Supplies Needed:
• Blank white paper
• Markers/coloring pencils/crayons
• Scissors
• Water
• Large container to hold water

Instructions:
1. Draw, color and design the flowers.
2. Fold the petals one by one toward the center.
3. Fill up your container with water half way
4. Place the paper flowers into the water with the petals side up.
5. Watch the petals open up!

How does it work?
The paper flowers magically bloom in water due to a phenomenon called capillary action! You may be familiar with capillary action if you have watched our grow your own rainbow experiment. If not, make sure you check it out!

Paper is made out of tiny wood fibers. There are small gaps or spaces between the wood fibers that form vessels where liquid or air may pass through. Water molecules are “sticky,” meaning that they like to stay close together as well as adhere to other substances. When you place the paper flowers in the water, water molecules immediately stick to the walls of the vessels. It will continue to travel up the vessels and drag other water molecules along. As the paper absorbs more and more water, the creases flatten out. As a result, the flower petals unfold and the flowers magically bloom!
