  • What are the differences between those relationships? What makes you get along with your best friend and the other person? Do you both benefit from the friendship?

Pātai

  • Think again about your best friend and the person you don’t get along with. How would you now categorise those relationships?
  • Friendships that work out tend to be symbiotic and ones that don’t, parasitic.
  • If you want to look after your friends, make sure it’s symbiotic!

Pātai: How to be alive?

Discuss with the person sitting next to you - what does it mean to be alive?

Energy Transfer

  • Through relationships, energy moves between different organisms
  • It starts with the producers (from the sun)
  • And moves through to the apex predators (humans, lions, etc.)
