| “We are learning about food sovereignty through the Mālama i ke keiki project. We are doing it so we know how to plant kalo so if the Matson ships/containers stop coming, we will still be able to thrive (foodwise) by planting kalo and other types of Native Hawaiian plants.” |

Haumäna express pilihonua to their Aloha ‘Aina wahi. 
Haumäna are studying earth system science in our learning community. We are investigating how the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere interact with each other in Hawai‘i and around the earth. The human impact of CO2 emissions into our earth systems is a contributing factor to global warming and ocean acidification. How can we all Mälama Honua and decrease our carbon dioxide production?

Sixth grade scientists are learning about the makeup of substances in the unit Mixtures and Solutions. They are gaining knowledge about how things go together and how they can be taken apart. Learning about changes in substances is important because changes can be controlled to produce new materials. Recent investigations include:
Sixth graders discussed their favorite solutions. Some included the ocean, the air, and lemonade. What is your favorite solution?
Fifth grade scientists are designing an investigation in their Variables Unit. Some of the most important scientific concepts students learn are the result of their ability to see relationships between objects and events. Relationships always involve interactions, dependencies, and cause and effect. The Variables Unit has four investigations that help students discover relationships through controlled experimentation.
Students are constructing rubber-band-powered airplanes and flying them on a line. They are experimenting with a number of variables to see how each affects the distance the plane travels.
What forces help things fly?
Fourth grade scientists are studying chromatography. 
Fourth grade scientists have been journeying across the curriculum while they are studying chromatography principles. Listen to a student describe his discoveries:
