A single rose, delicately dyed in shades of white and turquoise, stands elegantly in a clear plastic cup partially filled with blue liquid. The rose's petals are speckled with tiny dots of colour, adding to its ethereal beauty. It is positioned in front of a blurred background featuring a miniature toy house and a bright, airy sky visible through a window. The overall impression is one of gentle serenity and delicate artistry, suggesting a calm, peaceful setting.

Two-Toned Floral Dyeing Delight!

Have you ever seen a bicolour flower? These flowers aren't very common in everyday life, but through this magical experiment, you can witness a ordinary white flower transform into an astonishing bicolour bloom!

A sealed clear plastic bag with a yellow zip-top, containing a solid, off-white substance, is submerged in a light green bowl filled with ice water. A hand holds a digital thermometer; its probe is inserted into the bag, and the display reads 25.6 degrees Celsius. The image suggests a process of cooling or chilling a food item in an ice bath. The background is a light wood surface.

Fat Gloves

The polar regions are extremely cold, yet many mammals call them home - and it's all down to fat! When you jump into the icy waters of the Arctic or Antarctic, your body heat quickly dissipates.

A hand holds a pipette filled with blue liquid over a drawing of a cartoon penguin on white paper. The penguin's outline is black, its feet are pink, and some gray crayon shading is visible on its body. Another hand is partially visible at the bottom left, holding the paper. The background is a light wood surface. The image appears to depict a child's art project in progress, using a crayon resist technique with liquid watercolor.

Waterproof Penguin

Did you know that penguins are birds, and they're among the few birds that can 'fly' underwater? Adult penguins are covered in tightly packed feathers that are smooth and waterproof, allowing them to survive in the harsh Antarctic environment.

Two digital thermometers are shown inserted into glass tubes containing clear liquid. One thermometer sits in a test tube held by a clear acrylic rack on a light wood-grain table. The other thermometer is placed in a glass beaker containing several other glass tubes, also filled with liquid. The thermometers display different temperature readings. The background is a white wall decorated with colorful star and flower stickers.

Penguin Huddle Experiment

How do penguins survive in the extreme cold of polar environments? They have a unique warming technique—huddling. Penguins gather in tight groups, supporting each other to minimise heat loss.
