   A Peak flow rate measurer shows how fast you can blow air out of your lungs after taking a deep breath. The measurement is a number, this is measured in liters per minute. Scientists who study aging say PEFR’s (peak expiratory flow rates) think that it decreases with age. And I am trying to find out if age and gender affects peak flow.

I tested the peak flow rates in age groups the first age group I tested was 10-25 years of age. The first girl I tested was 12 years old and her best score was 400 liters of air. The first boy I tested was 12 years of age and his score was 375 liters of air. And the final male I tested was 23 years of age and he scored 603. This age group was one of the middle age groups. The first female I tested was 36 years old and scored 330. And there was then another male that I tested and he scored 573. Then another male who was 55 years of age and he scored 590. The last male I tested was aged 50 and scored 530. One of the females I tested was aged 48 years and scored 469. The final female I tested was aged 57 years and then scored 500. The next age group I tested was 41-55 years of age. The first female I tested in this age group scored 370 liters of air. The next person I tested for this age group was a male and he scored 650 liters of air.And there was then another male that I tested and he scored 573. There was then another male who was 55 years of age and he scored 590. The last male I tested was aged 50 and scored 530. One of the females I tested was aged 48 years and scored 469. The final female I tested was aged 57 years and then scored 500. The first male I tested was aged 66 years of age and he scored 495 liters of air. The second male I tested was aged 573. The third and final male I tested was aged 70 and scored 664. These were all rather similar results. The final age group I tested was 75 years and above. The first female I tested scored 260 and was aged 260. The second male I tested was aged 75 years of age and scored 545. These were all surprising results.
 * 10-25 years of age**
 * 26-40 years of age**
 * 41-55 years of age**
 * 56-70 years of age**
 * 75 and above**

Some people find it useful to help manage there asthma with a Peak flow rate meter. A peak flow meter is useful to measure and keep track of asthma. Peak flow rates change with age but the best score was done by a 70 year old and he scored 664. I was surprised with this result because I thought a few of the youngest people would score the highest. Although the lowest score was scored by a lady at 74 years of age and she scored 260. So half of my hypothesis was right, because I predicted that the higher the age got the lower the scores would get.

From my tests it has been proven that males have a better peak flow that girls. The average males peak flow score was 509 and the girls scored 375.85. My hypothesis was not quite right because I thought that the score between the male and female was similar but they was actually quite a big difference.

**Why Palm Oil is Bad?**

Palm oil comes from trees. Palm Oil is a bad because trees get cut down therefore that is a result of animals and birds dying which is bad when there is many other resources that CAN be used instead of palm oil.

Palm oil comes from palm trees. Palm oil comes from the oil of the palm tree by getting the oil out of the cut down the trees and getting all the palm oil out of the the palm tree and that then becomes palm oil therefore all the birds and animals are without food and habitats to live.

As a result of palm oil animals and birds a dyeing one animal that is severely affected is the orangutan because Orangutans live in palm trees and create there homes in the palm tree and also get there food from the palm tree. Without there homes and food there is nowhere for them to go and they are left to suffer and die.

Palm oil is used in hair products, oils, foods, crackers and there is many others palm oil is over used and should **not** be used at all it is not need. Why do we need palm oil when there is plenty other ingredients that can be used such as normal oils and if we stop cutting down trees there will not be any more loss of animal lives.

Palm oil needs to be stopped it is not needed and is taking lives of many animals and there is many other resources that are animal friendly. Palm oil is not a needed recourse and should be banned.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Palm oil comes from palm trees. Palm oil comes from the oil of the palm tree by getting the oil tree cutter downers cut down the trees and put the trees through a wood chipper and the wood chipper collects all the liquids from the palm tree and that then becomes palm oil therefore all the birds and animals are without food and habitats to live.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">(Kirk) There are some good cause and effect words like "dyeing". And there is a good general statement.

(grace) Animals and birds are dying from palm oil. But now its gone to far and when next year comes the animal that survealy affected is the orangutan that may become extinct if they keep on cutting the palm trees down. Orangutans live in palm trees and create there homes in the palm tree and also get there food from the palm tree. Without there homes and food there is nowhere for them to go and then the will be left to die.

**General Statement:**

Light is a visible source of energy and can be used for many things. Light helps make solar calculators work and solar lights also. There are two main types of light there is natural and artificial light. Light is what gives humans and animals light to see.

**Explanation:**

Natural & Artificial lights Solar Power Speed of light

Solar Power is one of New Zealands main resources and is created by the sun. Solar power is used by the sun because by the use of sun it creates solar power.

Natural lights is light that is made out of natural resorces like solar but Artificial reasorces are reasorces like torches. Light by it's self is made by the sun because light is the reflection of the sun. There are many natrual lights like sun,moon,glow worms and many more. there are also many other artificial lights like torchs,computer screen,
