Air pressure and gravity Experiment!

Hypothesis:
I think that all of them will work and I think that they will all work on the first go.


Results:
The result was that they all worked because even though the cups were different they all still had a vacuum and air pressure was there. Some took longer than others because people put their whole hand on the card instead of two fingers. This matters because when you put your whole hand on you apply too much pressure. If you press down with two fingers you make a suction between the card and the water. Also some techniques were more successful like when people slowly turned the glass over instead of doing it really fast.

Conclusion: My hypothesis was partly right. They all worked but not on the first go so I did ok with my prediction.

Cloning tuataras

I think that cloning the dying Tuataras is a good idea because  it may be the only chance to keep them alive and because they are native to New Zealand we need them because they make our wildlife unique. We only need a couple clones and then from there the Tuataras can breed naturally and they will all be safe. Or we could keep cloning them so there will be lots of them for a long time either way they will still be alive. That's why I think cloning the Tuatara is a good idea and should be looked into.


I think that cloning the Tuatara is a bad idea because it might not be a good experience for the Tuatara and what if it goes wrong we could just lose another Tuatara or even maybe make a disease or create something unwanted in our country. It also wouldn’t be the same if we said we only have Tuataras because we cloned one it sound much nicer if we say they breed naturally and we looked after our wildlife. We don’t need to clone them if we take good care of our wildlife they will still exist and we will still have the Tuatara in New Zealand.

The end
