Good Morning Dispersal Geniuses!!
Yesterday we review dispersal or how plants and animals arrived in our islands. We learned how plants, animals, insects, and bugs have changed slowly over time to adapt to the change in Hawaiiʻs environment and climate.
Once youʻre done checking out the pictures below, and youʻve reviewed your notes. In the reply box, use a SIGNAL WORD to signal new learning about what something new that youʻve observed or noticed in your notes and/or pictures.
If you can peak into the class, the signal word chart is under the whiteboard.
Love,
Kumu Kala

I learned that the silversword started growing gray hairs to protect it from the sun.

OMG!!!!!!!Did you know that from just 300 bugs that changed it turned into 7,000 bugs.
