We have been learning about the moku of Puna for the last few weeks.  We know the geographical location of the area, we are aware of common features of this place, and most recent learned what the name Puna means in reference to water.  In our efforts to integrate our various areas of studies, we decided to create a science experiment.  After watching a Youtube video on how Puna has natural water springs and aquifers in the area, we were intrigued by the process in which rain is made into drinking water.  Therefore, we decided to make our very own filtrating bottles that somewhat resemble the process in which rain water goes through the Earth and ends into a well or aquifer, eventually becoming drinking water.

Uwe ka lani, ola ka honua.

When the heaven weeps, the earth lives. When it rains, the earth revives.
