Science Add colour to your flowers.

Equipment: Food colouring, some small cups, water, a bunch of white carnations.Method: 1. Decide what colours you would like the flowers to be and then add that colour to your glass. 2. You will need to add enough food colouring to create a strong colour in the water, just a few drops of colouring will not have much of an effect. 3. Snip the last centimetre of your stem and place the stem in the coloured water. 4. Now just wait. Over the next day you will see signs of the colouring emerge in the petals, and even in the leaves. Want to try multi-coloured flower?Try splitting the stem with a knife (adults only, for that part please) and then placed each stem into a different colour of water and see what happens to the flower.

So how does it work?This is the science of TRANSPIRATION. It basically means that the plant draws water up through its stem. The water is then evaporated from the leaves and flowers through openings know as stomata. As the water evaporates, it creates pressure that brings more water into the plant – similar to drinking from a straw. Some trees can transpire dozens (even hundreds) of gallons of water on a hot day. How fast a plant transpires depends on temperature, humidity, and even wind. You may want to set up an experiment that tests the transpiration rate of the flowers by placing your plant-coloring set-up in different areas (sunny & dark, windy& still, dry & humid) and see which flower ends up with the most color – more color=more transpiration.Take a photo and post it on Twitter and tag us! @Year6Kingsley

Evelyn Glennie – a short biography

Evelyn Glennie is a well-known musician who plays many different percussion instruments. She is the first ever solo fulltime percussionist. She has played all around the world with famous orchestras and musicians. Below you can read from her autobiography, Good Vibrations; but first, here is a short outline of her life so far.

Evelyn was born in 1965 and grew up with her two brothers on a farm in northeast Scotland. From an early age, when she started to learn the piano, recorder and clarinet, it was clear that Evelyn was unusually gifted in music.

While still at primary school, Evelyn started to lose her hearing. By the age of 12 she was almost completely deaf. At secondary school, she stopped playing most other instruments in order to put her effort into percussion. Here she began to excel as a talented musician, with support from family and teachers, especially Mr Forbes, her percussion teacher.

In those days, because of her deafness, it was difficult for Evelyn to be allowed to attend the local secondary school. Later on, in 1981, she had an even bigger struggle to get into the Royal Academy of Music in London, where she wanted to continue her studies in music. At first, the Royal Academy was unwilling even to interview her but she was finally accepted. She did better than anyone expected and completed her studies while still exceptionally young – before her 20th birthday.

In 1988 Evelyn won the Young Musician of the Year competition and since then her career has taken off. She has become an outstanding professional musician, winning countless prizes and awards, and has performed with many world-class musicians all over the globe. Evelyn appears on television frequently, presenting music programmes such as ‘Soundbites’. She has

also written and performed music – not only for television, but also for film. She has even developed her own musical instrument – a new range of cymbals.

Some of Evelyn’s major achievements:

• gives around 110 concerts a year

• has recorded 18 albums

• has performed in over 40 countries

• has collected over 1800 instruments

• uses up to 60 instruments in a live performance

• was the first classical musician to have her own website.
