Do Celery Leaves, Daisy Petals, or Carnation Petals Obtain the Dye Fastest?
1. Statement of Purpose and Hypothesis: It is a known fact that celery leaves, daisy petals, and carnation petals can be dyed. However, I have always wondered which becomes dyed the fastest. My hypothesis is that either the carnations or daisies will be dyed the fastest because their stem’s are the thinnest. Since their stems are the most narrow, the color will not wander inside the stem, it will simply be forced up to the petals. 2. Methodology: I planned to test my experiment by using three celery stalks, three carnations, and three daffodils. This was done in order to have a bigger sample size.

All nine glasses were the same kind, filled with the same amount of water, the same amount of dye, the same temperature water, and placed in the same area where th
