All in all.... they had done fairly well. It was a simple enough concept to grasp in terms of basics, so she didn't need to worry about that.
"Good, good... so you all have a sound understanding of what an ecosystem is." But just to reiterate... because reiterating cemented knowledge to memory... "Ecosystems, being systems, are formed through the interactions between organisms and their physical environment, both living and inanimate."

"Now many of you touched on points and aspects which make up ecosystems... characterises them and shapes them into what they are. Things to consider, when studying ecosystems," which is what they were doing, so notes on the following would be handy for them later, "... include solar energy, moisture, minerals, nutrients, soil, organisms and disturbances."

Now came the crucial part, which would significantly influence their success in this course of study...
"Why... would understanding ecosystems be important to the study of herbology? What can we gain from this?"

Awesome! Who got points? Rawdon got points! Yessss!

The young Vindictus felt as if he had been rewarded with a cookie and he knew that he could get more if he participated. He listened carefully to the next question and pondered his answer for a few minutes.

He raised his hand. "It's all about having the right balance, Professor. The right amount of water, soil, plants, air, temperature, and light are important for plants to grow. If the balance isn't right then, the plants will struggle to survive. So these things are like the ecosystem of herbology and we need to know what the correct balance is to grow plants."
