Seren cast a glance around the group, she couldn't hide her excitement, nope. "Now as many of you can see, greenhouse six has undergone a transformation... and I felt this was the perfect location to start our topic for the term." She paused here to give students the opportunity to think about what that might mean.
"Does anybody want to hazard a guess as to what we'll be studying this term?"... "Feel free to take a look around, raise you're hand when you think you've worked it out."
OOC: The lesson has officially started, do not announce your charrie arriving late if you have not posted already. Just pretend as if they've been here the whole time. Unless you want to lose points. The lesson will continue in approximately 10 hours from the time of this post. ONE answer/guess in your response please.
No gloves? That was exciting. But West was FAR AND AWAY too intrigued by the contents of the tanks to actually give an answer.
BIOLUMINESCENCE WAS AWESOME!

"Now would also be a good time to get your notebooks out... and bear in mind we will be moving around."
OOC: The lesson will continue in approximately 12 hours. Please answer the QUESTION ONLY. Thank you (;
Ecosystems? what? West looked up, blinking, and glanced at other kids, who'd apparently joined him while he'd been thinking about the TANK. Ecosystems?
He put his hand up.
"Ecosystems are different growing areas where the stuff what grows there is effected by the climate or by chemicals, or humidity, or how high up in mountains or low down below sea level, or like, the actual location on the Earth, cos where it is effects all that other stuff, on account of latitude means closer or further from the hot part, the equator." He sort of paused and then added with a big happy smile, looking around the greenhouse,
"You can use a greenhouse to make a mini-version of a ecosystem so you can grow things what wouldn't normally grow where you are."
Notebook out? Moving around?
