Elliot looks a tiny bit devious as she waits for students today. "Hi, guys. We're still on natural selection, so I hope you at least pretended to read that chapter in your textbooks.

"I have a couple reminders before we start on the lab for today. First, remember, no class next week; you're going on a field trip with Ms. Frizzle next Thursday instead. And then the week after that is your midterm break. Which means you should have plenty of time to work on your midterm projects that are due November 7. Those should be a design for an experiment based on something we covered in class; if you want to enter the experiment in the school science fair in December, that would be extra awesome. Come see me after class or during my office hours if you have questions about any of this."

"As for today --" Elliot paused to hand out worksheets -- "You guys have five minutes to find all the poker chips you can around the room. When I call time, take your seats, and we'll spend the rest of class discussing both which chips were well-adapted to the classroom environment, and which students were the best hunters, then fill out the lab reports."

"That's it from me, so go for it and happy hunting."

[OOC: The room has white walls, a white acoustic ceiling, a tan tile floor, black lab tables and olive-drab plastic chairs. There are a few multicolored posters on the walls and a small, mostly full bookshelf in a corner of the room, and the rat cage is largely clear with some neon plastic appendages. You can mod the number of chips you find and where they were, within reason; Elliot didn't hide exactly 25 of each, so you don't need to worry about what your classmates found.]

~~omg so late sorry~~

Heeeere, chippy chippy ... niiiice chippy chippy. Work alone or in pairs.

Jamie briefly considers multiplying and hogging all the chips for himself. But if he did that then the rest of the class could starve off and then he'd be left to play with himself. Not dirty.

So he stays with the single mode version of the game and hunts up a decent amount of chips.

Teddy doesn't have much of a hunting instinct. All food should come prepackaged and in a supermarket in his opinion.

But he tries his best anyway, not quite coming up with the same amount of poker chips as his classmates.

Parker's systematic, starting at one end of the room and checking along every edge, finding a couple more chips than most people-- once she realizes that the clear chips are harder to find, and tend to be tucked in places that make them hard to see.

Zack had a highly scientific method of canvassing the room, and managed to find a respectable number of chips.

Still yawning, Isabel searched around the room. She finished with a decent number of chips after realizing that some were taped to the undersides of things in the room.

Discuss the results of the hunt or do other general class stuff, like passing notes and bugging Elliot, here.

*clings and wails that I won't get to teach you guys for two whole weeks, omg!*

*cries, woe!*
