Last week on Friday, we did an experiment on kauri dieback disease. The experiment was, we had 4 different coloured straws with a different amount of holes team 4 had 0 holes, team 3 had 10 holes, team 2 had 30 holes and team 1 had 40 holes. We tried to drink it but the juice would come out of the holes so it was hard. At the end team 4 won and team 1 lost, team 3 came 2nd and team 2 came 3rd.

How it helped me
The experiment helped me to understand the way the kauri dieback disease works. When the disease comes it stops the kauri tree from sucking up the nutrients it needs to grow, so the tree gets hungrier and hungrier but the disease stops it until the tree begins to die.
