Oceanography [Thursday, Week 2, Period Five]

[takesaftermom.livejournal.com]

When the students entered the classroom, they'd see a long table in the front of the room with different types of coral on it. Some looked healthy and others, not so much.

"I hope everyone's having a good week," Summer said, once the students settled down. "Today, we'll be focusing on coral reefs." She pointed to the different types in the front of the room and explained how they were made and where they could be found.

The pieces of coral up front had been dried and cleaned, so they presented no danger to the students. "You guys can take your time inspecting the coral and if you want, you can take a piece back with you." Summer had a couple in her office, courtesy of her brother.

"Next week, if the weather holds, we'll be headed to the beach," Summer explained. "If the weather doesn't hold, we'll meet here and post pone the trip for another day."

Ask questions, inspect the coral. etc.

Cal found himself poking at two separate pieces (http://kansasadventure.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/more-large-coral-pieces.jpg) of coral, contemplating their differences. Not deeply, or anything, but still, he was a very contemplative person.

The coral was really pretty and Joan chose a small piece to take with her.

Leto studied the pieces of coral, thinking about how vulnerable the ecosystems that had created these complex structures were. In that sense, they were similar to the desert.
