 * Where most of our stuff is.

Possible Topics:
Ahupua'a and water Animal Migration Monarchy Immigration Ali'i Overthrow Heroes in our community

Topic Choice: Ahupua'a and Water
Driving Questions: What was the relationship between the geography/natural resources of the island and life in early Hawaii? How did the geography/natural resources influence life in early Hawaii? What relationship did the early Hawaiians have with the land? How has that relationship changed from then to now?

Important concepts: sustainability, water cycle, 'aina, community/interconnectedness/interdependence water rights stewardship why was it such an easy thing to use as a boundary?

trips: weekly visits to uka, kula, kai sites bishop museum trip Waimea Valley: [|__http://www.waimeavalley.net/school_programme.aspx__] or go visit other parts of island to compare

Science could be moon/tide cycles water testing in different spots biological survey soil/water testing? water shed shallow fast v. deep and slow water chemistry changes rocks/geology insects, land snails

Meeting with Jim: Jim’s Students: kauaijim@hotmail.com

end of the river, interaction between the land and the ocean, 4th or 5th Kapaa Elementary Kalei_Arinaga@notes.k12.hi.us Voyaging to a new island: Exploring a new ahupuaa different groups in charge of recording rainfall top and bottom, temperature top and bottom, topography, pH, etc... make recommendations to the council “we recommend farming here” group of explorers in charge of exploring different areas data logger: vernier

How the alii supported

how the ali’ supported the people, actions of the kings that supported or destroyed the ahupua’a Waipa - stream crosses between two ahupua’a, Kauai Limahuli garden, Kauai, Kawika Winters Camp Naue

relative humidity dryer the air, quicker water evaporates. two thermometers, damp paper towel around bottom of one, tie on string, swing around. Dry day, suck all water out of paper towel, as water evaporates its taking heat away from the thermometer bulb. On island:

End Goal: break up ahupua`a into separate topics Initial plan/map, revisit it 3 areas how did they use it? how did they take care of it? how has it changed? today how do we use it? how do we take care of it? data gathering what are you going to do? Create “PSA” about an “issue” in our ahupua`a collect issues as we go come up with some “PSA” choices ahead of time

Think about: organization of information (binder)

require different sources of information: book internet interview an expert

Need: map of Manoa where to go? how often? what’s important at each spot?

Immersion: 1. Field trip to lookout to see our ahupua`a 2. Water Cycle/watershed (2 weeks)

Skills: Inquiry & writing skills: asking a “good” (researchable) question; annotating non-fiction text; using thinking charts: notes and thinking; pulling good ideas/facts and writing them in your own words; accompanying picture (labeled diagram). Making a hypothesis with a drawing to support thinking, revisit and refine. Data inquiry skills: comparing data and being able to interpret and explain changes.

Inquiry skills build with each unit, revisit and refine the 2nd year, 4th graders will be encouraged to use paragraphs early on, rather than writing a few sentences (but they can if they need to start there), collaboration and team building

Interview an expert: ask an open-ended interview question. ipod touch to interview the question or use think sheet to take notes if it is on the phone. interview preferably with a partner so both can take notes and listen.

Internet skills: reliabilty and validity of source, search terms (key words), pulling images off the sites, citing sources

Data collection & analysis skills: recording data on a table, graphing data

Resources: Hawaiians of Old From the Mountains to the Sea Hawaii Alive Waimea Valley

Project: Create “PSA” about an “issue” in our ahupua`a “issue” is a change which can be harmful
