When the Eastern Hemisphere is experiencing daylight the Western Hemisphere is experiencing darkness. Locate Japan on the globe. Using a flashlight, show that when we have daytime, Japan has nighttime. Garden designers are regarded as artists. Since space is rare many gardens are sculptured to represent a miniature world.
Trees represent forests.
A pond represents an ocean. Make a miniature Japanese garden in the top of a shoebox. Bring in aluminum foil, soil, tiny plants, rocks and pebbles. Cover the bottom of the shoebox with foil then cover with a thin layer of soil. Using glue, add some tiny plants to represent trees and shrubs, some pebbles for rocks and the uncovered foil represents a pond.
