Mr Putra is the school gardener.

He says that half of the school field is covered with weeds

instead of grass. A group of students are trying to find out if that is true by using some simple
equipment. The students marked out the transect using a long piece of string. They put a frame
called a quadrat down at regular intervals. They counted the numbers of squares of each
quadrat where there were weeds. They worked out the percentage of the field that contained
weeds. It was only 32 %. Now they can tell Mr Putra he was wrong. The school field was not
half covered with weeds.
