Rats! Tracy Clark, aged 17, of Linwood High School, gives a trio of white rats a breather, before putting them to the test in an elaborate three-storey “rat maze.” With food as a bait, at the start of the experiment, the rats took nearly eight minutes to find their way to the ground-storey prize; after 20 days, they were able to find food in just one minute 13 seconds. The exhibit is part of the 1981 Canterbury and Westland Science Fair for secondary schools at the Horticultural Hall this week.
