This year was Austin's first Science Fair.
He chose to show how plants (in this case flowers)get water.

We got some carnations, cups, water (of course) and food colouring.
It was especially exciting for me as his Dad to actually be able to be involved as he kept the experiment at my house.

In essence, we started four flowers over four days to see the effects of how long it would take the coloured water to make it's way up the stem to the petals.

In addition to having a display, he and his fellow students gave presentations at class.

He received an "A" which makes me additionally impressed as it's nice to see your children succeed.

I can't wait for his future endeavors.
