Biology, 12/05, Period 2
Elliot looked subdued as she waited for the students to gather. "Hi. I listened to the podcasts from the radio, and I know most of you spent the weekend either fighting trolls or stuck with me in Efferton. So, um, setting the weirdness of the entire thing aside? Easy class today, we're reviewing something you probably did in middle school, the food chain, which is a way of showing the transfer of energy inside an ecosystem. Basically, everything eats something else to survive, and I'm glad humans are not just troll buffets. A more complex and realistic system is called a food web or a food network."
She turned to the blackboard and began to sketch with multicolored chalk. "I can't draw, but this -" she added a ray to the sun and reached for white chalk -- "is a simple food chain. The sun makes the grass grow, the bunny eats the grass, the fox eats the bunny. Everyone is happy. Except the bunny. And the grass, if it has emotions."
She pushed her hair back. "Here's a handout of the concept. To show me you have it, you can either go back to the computers and play a game to put food webs together, or use the colored pencils and paper at your desks to draw your own food chains."
"A quick reminder, next week is our animal dissection, and the week after that is the final."
