Traditional maori plants

 Silver Ferns

Maori would use silver ferns to mark their land by maori maraes all across aotearoa.They were also used to allow people to memories where there marea was at.They were most effective in the night because that would glow when the moon would shine on them creating a path for people to safely walk home.

In recent days the new zealand netball team named themselves the silver ferns returning the favor for what they did many many many years prior.

Fun fact silver ferns can actually grow up to ten meters or 33 feet . Also the fern can take a rare creeping form which isn't even half the size of a normal fern only growing up to 4 meters tall or 13 feet.

Silver ferns were discovered in 1880 and are known as the symbols of New Zealand by many all over the world.the fern is symbolised as many new zealand citizens homeland .

materials                                                     

1.5 skittles

2.25 ml water                                           

3. Petri dish

4.Beacker

Process

step 1 get your equipment set  up ready to pour the 25 ml of water into the petri dish  with the skittles.

step 2 place the skittles into the petri dish around the edges

step 3 pour 50 ml water gently into the petri dish

step 4 watch as the water removes the dye from the skittles.See which colour reaches the middle first

3 inventions

To me my three favourite inventions are water fountains, washing machines and dishwashers.

1. Water fountains are good because they help thirst dehydration. An early example of a fountain, found in Mesopotamia, dates from around 3000 BC. It consisted of a series of basins which made use of a natural spring. Mechanically operated fountains became familiar during the 15th century in Italy. But now today we find them everywhere in places like parks, schools and even in public places like shopping malls.

2. The first washing machine was made in 1797 and in 1851 it was updated into a manually operated machine. The earliest machine was in fact, less of a machine and more of a scrub board. I believe it’s useful for keeping clothes clean so you smell good. 

3. The first dishwasher was made in 1850 by a woman named Joel Houghton. I like the dishwasher so I have more time instead of doing dishes.
