THE QUESTION
HOW CAN WE KEEP CUT FLOWERS FRESH? CAN GINGER ALE KEEP THE CUT FLOWERS FRESH?
So uh...
The question...
How can we keep cut flowers fresh?
Well ya listen âere Iâll tell ya.

HYPOTHESIS
- If cut flowers are left in ginger ale, then they will stay fresh longer because of the other ingredients that are in ginger ale that are not in water.
We put âem in ginger ale.
Yeah.
Anyway, the hypotheses.
If cut flowers are left in ginger ale, they will stay fresh longer because of the other ingredients ainât in the water and are in ginger ale.
Yeah.

NUMBER OF WILTED PETALS (CONTROL)
So, I used the graph maker in Haikudeck and the other one, and both of them are in here, but Iâm starting with the ones I made in Haikudeck
NUMBER OF WILTED PETALS (EXPERIMENTAL)
NUMBER OF FALLEN PETALS (CONTROL)
NUMBER OF FALLEN PETALS (EXPERIMENTAL)

COLOR OF PETALS (CONTROL)
- Red
- Red, darker around the edges
- Red, darker around the edges
- Some have turned much darker, others still red
- Few more have turned dark
- None have turned dark that I can see
- Large jump in number of darker petals, few are still red
So, I forgot to take photos so Iâm just going to describe what happened. So hereâs the control groupâs petal color.

COLOR OF PETALS (EXPERIMENTAL)
- Red
- Red, darker around the edges
- Red, few are completely dark
- More are completely dark
- Again, more are completely dark
- Few petals are still red
- Small jump in number of dark petals, few are still red
Yes haw, itâs time for experimental.

TEXTURE OF PETALS (CONTROL)
- Slightly dry
- Slightly dry
- Dry
- Dry and crumpled
- Few are very dry
- Most are now very dry
- Extremely dry, almost no moisture

TEXTURE OF PETALS (EXPERIMENTAL)
- Slightly dry
- Slightly drier
- Dry; crumpled
- Most are very dry
- Pretty much all of the petals are very dry
- Extremely dry
- Extremely dry

DISCUSSION
So, now you get to stare at this photo of a balding business man talking while I talk.
So obviously the ginger ale didnât work too good. But neither did the water, so maybe cut flowers are just destined to always just die. Like, a lot. I mean the two liquids kinda just did the same thing, but the water did it slightly better, which was pretty surprising. I think maybe the ginger ale and the water evaporated or the flowers drank âem up, and thatâs why the flowers had a jump in how many got dry or withered. Iâm also pretty sure the flowers got turned around and moved a bit, and that might have messed some stuff up.

RECAP AND CONCLUSION
The hypothesis was that if cut flowers are left in ginger ale, then they will stay fresh longer because of the other ingredients that are in ginger ale that are not in water. The results of this experiment and investigation did not support the hypothesis, but rather stayed in a gray area. One way the investigation did not support the hypothesis was when more flowers wilted and then fell off the flowers that were left in the ginger ale when compared to the flowers in the water. One result that did not support nor debunk the hypothesis was when both groups of flowers and their petals both got darker and darker, and drier and drier.
