AUTHOR'S NOTE: So, a habit of mine is to use Degrassi Characters to do my classwork or homework. You guys should see my vocab. Test, not a pretty sight. Any who's I thought I'd share my Living Environment HW with you guys.

The Task: Use Ecological principles that we have studied and terms form the vocabulary list on the back to write a story. Use a minimum of ten (10) terms and underline them in your story. Suggested story lines are given below OR YOU MAY THINK OF YOUR OWN.

Oh, yeah I came up with my own… fan fiction lol. I wrote another one too, if you want to see that one leave a review. This is just for fun so yes, you can tell me "This sucks I hope your living environment teacher gives you a 0" and I'll be perfectly content. (INSERT ROSE HERE)

"Study Date"

"Clare remind me again, why I have to help you study living environment stuff, you learned last year?" "Well, Eli, along with the crackdown, Simpson wants to make sure all gifted students are worthy of their place." I replied. We were currently in my dining room with my borrowed textbook, from one of the science teachers and last year's notes; I knew they would come in handy one day. Eli, since he was also amazing at science, was helping me study for the gifted test next week. He picked up one of my 'old' flashcards and looked through them,"OK, why do we need to know what a fauna is?""Well, fauna's usually are animals of a particular region for example, kangaroo's are from the outback in Australia that would be a fauna." he stared at me blankly. "Ok then how about I quiz you on the words." "Sure, umm you can start now." He picked up the flash cards and began to read off them.

"Ok, what is an ecosystem?"

"An ecosystem is a community of different organisms with biotic and abiotic factors."

"Good, what's biotic?"

"Biotic, wait I know this, umm biotic is anything living within an ecosystem."

"Yeah, now what's abiotic?"

"The non-living stuff in an ecosystem."

"Ok umm, what's a ni- ne- how do you pronounce that word?"

I looked over at the flashcard. "A niche is the role an organism plays within an ecosystem."

"What about a food web?"

"A food web is a diagram that can act as a pyramid that shows the relationships between predator and prey."

"So let's say I'm the big bad wolf and you're the little bunny, I'd be the predator right?" Eli asked suggestively. "Uhhh let's get back to studying Romeo." I responded ignoring his little innuendo.

"Fine then, what's predation?"

"It's the relationship between organisms that basically eat each other."

"Very well, Clare Bear"

"Do not call me Clare Bear or Saint Clare." I literally yelled back.

"Ooh feisty, ok then what are decomposers?"

"Bacteria or fungi that eat dead and decaying organisms."

"Herbivores and carnivores what are they?"
"Herbivores eat plants while carnivores eat other organisms or meat."

"Ok, we've done enough studying for one afternoon, want to go to the Dot and grab a bite?"

"Yeah, let me just go get my purse and some cash." I went up to my room when I came back down, I turned red. "Why are you destroying my flashcards?"

The end.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hope you guys like it, wish me luck on my homework grade!
