 1. Draw the garden map/plan We then returned to the classroom and I showed the class how to convert the rough drawing and measurements into a map drawn to scale. We discussed the concept of scale and angles. 2. Check peas and garlic Over the holidays the peas had grown leaves and side roots. Some peas had dropped into the water and rotted we solved this problem by putting some washed river sand into the bottom of the jars to keep the peas from slipping down. 
Figure 8 Modification to pea experiment The garlic was then examined. First it was noted that the garlic that was planted the right way up was much higher and more vigorous than the garlic that was planted upside down. When we turned the plants out of the potting soil we found that the garlic that had been planted upside down had had to twist around in order to emerge from the soil.
