Chia Heads!

Hi All!

Please bring in pantyhose and knee highs that you can spare and plastic containers (like the ones I showed in class). Here is a sneak preview of what a chia head might end up looking like once it is growing.



We will be making changes to the chia heads abiotic factors (air, water, sunlight, temperature) to determine their effect on the plant growth. This should be interesting and teach us a bit more about producers and photosynthesis.

  7. I have a feeling that Cameron did the same chia head as mine because I think he told me his died. Syd and I (unfortunately) have the chia head that is going to be stuck in the cabinets. It's most likely going to die because it does not get all the components it needs to produce its food (glucose).
    It will live a short...and dark life
