BOOK OF THE WEEK
BOOK OF THE WEEK
This week's book is Future Friend by David Baddiel.
The year is 3020.
Pip@256X#YY.3_7 is lonely and bored: she goes to virtual school on her G-Glasses, she only has a talking cat and parrot to hang out with, and she can't even leave her LivingSpace due to the extreme heat and floods outside.
Until the day that Pip explores a glowing ring in a lab and finds herself in a warehouse, in 2019.
Where she meets boy-inventor Rahul - who is also lonely and bored.
Together, Rahul and Pip are no longer lonely. But they have a whole load of new problems, including hiding talking animals from Rahul's parents, and finding a way back to the future.

This week... Flowers!
This week... Flowers!
You will need:
White carnations/ white flowers
Food colouring
Some small cups
Water
What to do:
Decide what colours you would like the flowers to be and then add that colour to your glass. 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. (Our blue looked more like black after adding enough colour.)
Snip the last centimetre of your carnation steam and place the stem in the coloured water. Now just wait. Over the next day you will see signs of the colouring emerge in the petals, and even in the leaves. Our experiments have shown that sometimes the colour emerges within a few hours, other times it takes a day or two. Could you experiment and make a colour combination?
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 known as stomata. As the water evaporates, it creates pressure that brings more water into the plant – similar to drinking from a straw.
