Chia Seed Lab
By Nana and Jay
Purpose
We did this expieriment to test and discover what environments chia seeds grew in. We learned that chia seeds absorbed 27 times their weight in water so we wanted to see what would happen if we placed the Chia seeds in different environments from where they usually grew.
Hypothesis
Our hypothesis was if Chia seeds are put in different temperamental environments, than they will grow differently in height. Also the Chia seed in the normal environment will grow faster than the other ones.
Variables
Independent Variables- The Environments
Dependent Variables- The growth of the Chia Seeds
Controlled Variable- The Chia Seed with Normal Environment.
Extraneous Variables- The sky is cloudy, The freezer breaks, or the incubator breaks
Setup
First we took 6 Chia seeds and planted two in each environment. There were two seeds in the incubator, two in the freezer, and two by the window. We watered them 8 ML every other day.
Results
Our results were that the Chia seeds in the incubator grew faster and longer than the ones in the freezer and by the window. Our chia seed in the incubator grew longer and then died so we started the expieriment over and got the same result even though we only had 4 days instead of 8.
Conclusion
Our conclusion is that chia seeds grow better in hot environments.
