Title: The Very, Very, Very, Very Long Report of Maths Mixed With Geography about Daffodil Farms
In this report you will find out if Lynham is better for a daffodil farm then Avimoore and I will TRY to get 750 words but might not. So don’t give me a detention if I don’t.
This is info on daffodils and the stuff in them: A CHEMICAL found in daffodils may help treat people struck down by Alzheimer’s disease.
Scientists working in Wales – where the daffodil is the national flower – believe the chemical in a special species of the bloom can help the symptoms of memory loss.
And they want daffodil farms to be set up in the mountains of Wales to become a source of the drug galanthamine.
Researchers at Cardiff University are pushing for vast amounts of daffodils to be grown and harvested in the Black Mountains of mid-Wales.
University marketing director Frank Marsh said: “The potential for Welsh hill farms is huge “The benefits are extensive, not only to Welsh bioscience and the pharmaceutical industry, but also to the ageing population.”
Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia; it hits one in 20 people over the age of 65 and one in five people over the age of 80.
The University’s Manufacturing Engineering Centre is now helping the company Alzeim Ltd to develop the daffodil as a medicinal plant.
The daffodil was brought to the UK by the Romans, who believed in its healing powers.
But doctors have warned the bulb of the yellow flower is poisonous when eaten.
People have died after mistaking daffodil bulbs for onions.
You see that was the Info on daffodils.
Now I think Lynham is best because it has plenty of rain and is sunny in the summer I know this because Chris Hunter of R8 lives there and he told me also I know because of the graphs.
A person who lives there who I know has a bunch a daffodils growing in his garden.
Lynham has one bad point and that is that it has more wind which will be bad at first because it will make it much harder for the little shrubs to grow. But after the daffodils have fully grown it will be better for them to have wind as that is a natural way of spreading seeds.
Avimoore is so much the worst place because it is in cold old Scotland. Also Avimore is a ski resort and that would make it colder but it would also mean people could go skiing on holiday and that’s Avimoore good point.
The thing we are doing in maths is trying to find out which place is better for a holiday and for that I would choose Avimoore as it is a ski resort and that would be a fun filled holiday for the whole family.
If I ever do this again what I would change would be that you would have more time on research, be told the hypothesis at the start, It would be SHORTER and graphs would count as words.
The hardiest parts for me and Milo would probably be the graphs this is long but not hard.
Evaluation: I worked with Milo Goodspeed and we did a bunch of graph stuff and then started this. In total we had six lessons on this and I’m still working.
In these lessons we were in L block, R12 and H27.
I’m sorry that my graphs were not included in this but that was saved in Milo’s file.
Also I am sorry that there were no maps in this seeing as the internet is not working.
I would like to thank the following people: Chris Hunter for living in Lynham, Myself of course, Milo Goodspeed for being my partner, The computers I worked on, The person who invented windows (computer not glass), Miss West, Mr Coal, Mrs Coal, The head teacher for opening the school, my mum for having me and the internet which is now broken.
So this bit now is the conclusion in which I tell my theories I think that Lynham is the best for a daffodil farm and Avimoore for a holiday.
The hypothesis is: Lynham better place for a daffodil farm then Avimoore and Lynham is a better place for a holiday then Avimoore.
This report was written mostly by me and partly by Milo and it is seven hundred and fifty words long count ‘em if you want.
