4. More than just a song and dance • Bio-band • Making PGA • Come together • Yellow Sporangium • 12 animal phyla • Succession song • Sweeney and Judge – Cardio dance

9. My land was all rock, Or should I say, My land was junk Then Lichens arrived, Aren't they good, For making the woods Primary succession where lichens turn rocks into soil So grasses can grow and fiddlehead ferns can uncoil As plants grew and died, Soil supplied, Became nutrient rich But, then light'ning struck, And I'm out of luck, My woods burned down I still had some soil and maybe some remaining roots And fast as could be they recovered and grew into shoots So this succession, was secondary, and that's fine by me Since both of these kinds, end in climax, communities (whistle, if can) Now, when you study, know primary, and secondary, Come lava or fire, succession is good, for making the woods.
