Air Exists

EQUIPMENT:

Container ( filled with H2O)

paper towel

jar

My  Prediction:

Yes

Because the pressure on the paper towel to keep it dry

WHAT HAPPENED:

If you scrunch the paper up tight so it is small when you put the jar with the paper in the water the paper will just fill out but if you scrunch the paper up a little bit and put it the jar it will stick to the jar and the air cousin will keep it dry.

The explanation:

So when you scrunch the paper tightly when you put it down it just fills to the bottom and when you bring the cup up it just falls out. But if you scrunch the paper a little bit it sticks to the side and the air cousin keeps all the water out  so when you bring it up  it sticks to the side. But why does the little paper gets wet when the air cushion stops the big paper? Because when you bring it up the gravity pushes it down into the bucket of water.

AIR EXISTS

Zelandia

As I walk through the forest at Zealandia I found two weta hotels, one weta hotel had a massive weta. Next  we come to all these sounds of all the different sounds of the birds we have to try and find. The first bird we  have to find is a small black duck and I found two while we were walking along the bridge to the Takahe enclosure.  But sadly we didn't find any Takahes.  Then while  are walking on the track we saw these  enclosure for little green Geckos, we found 3. Then we saw the kakas being fed there was five of them. Shortly we were walking up the track and we came to a suspension bridge every time I jumped on it it wobbled.  We were walking back then  we come to the Tuatara enclosure and a couple of steps along the fence  we saw a tuatara sun bathing  we carry on walking but we don’t find another tuatara. Here are some photos of the kaka and the tuatara. I just about had one of a bell bird but Matthew spoke because he   thought I had taken it.
