ʻĀina Scavenger (Hunt 2) | Kamehameha Schools
ʻĀina Scavenger Hunt 2 is the hands-on worksheet. Students explore their yard or nearby ʻāina through kilo, searching for native and invasive plants, erosion, sensory evidence, and igneous rock while drawing, photographing, making inferences, and completing an action to mālama ʻāina.
‘Āina Scavenger (Hunt 1) | Kamehameha Schools
ʻĀina Scavenger Hunt 1 prepares students to explore their backyard through kilo by reviewing mālama ʻāina, native and invasive species, the Three W’s and Three M’s, Earth Day, and water erosion. Students then use that knowledge in the scavenger-hunt portion to observe, draw, write, and share discoveries about the ʻāina around their home.
Science Enrichment (Week 8) | Kamehameha Schools
Science Enrichment is a culminating science review and reflection packet that asks students to look back on their learning about Hawaiian plants and animals, invasive species, adaptations, life cycles, weather, the water cycle, engineering, and mālama ʻāina. Learners reflect on their progress, explore inheritance by creating a new bird breed, and use creative writing and visual activities to demonstrate what they understand.
Science Enrichment (Week 7) | Kamehameha Schools
Science Enrichment is a packet connecting backyard investigation with Hawaiian cultural knowledge and engineering. Students study Green Anoles, ʻohe as a waʻa plant and traditional resource, introduced backyard birds, adaptations to rain, gardening, and heʻe hōlua while practicing kilo, prediction, research, design, testing, and reflection with their ʻohana.
Science Enrichment (Week 6) | Kamehameha Schools
Science Enrichment is a backyard-based science enrichment packet that connects animal and plant investigations with mālama ʻāina. Students explore gardening, lizards, bird nests, flower development, water movement through plants, backyard birds, and habitat change while practicing kilo, questioning, prediction, experimentation, and environmental stewardship with their ʻohana.
Science Enrichment (Week 5) | Kamehameha Schools
Science Enrichment is a place-based science enrichment packet that connects backyard investigation with Hawaiian environmental learning. Students explore Ka Wai a Kāne and the water cycle, kōlea migration and seasonal changes, bird nests, lizard traits, and mālama ʻāina while practicing observation, prediction, modeling, engineering, and scientific communication. The activities encourage learners to investigate their own surroundings alongside their ʻohana and apply science to real environmental questions.
Science Enrichment (Week 4) | Kamehameha Schools
Science enrichment is a place-based science enrichment packet that encourages students to practice kilo and investigate their immediate environment. Through activities involving plant roots, Hawaiian seasons, habitats, invasive species, weather, shadows, and backyard birds, learners observe natural patterns, make predictions, draw and record evidence, and consider how environmental changes affect Hawaiʻi’s ecosystems.
Science Enrichment (Week 3) | Kamehameha Schools
Science enrichment is a place-based science enrichment packet focused on plants, pollination, invasive species, and mālama ʻāina. Students practice kilo, observe roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and life cycles, investigate albizia and bee–plant relationships, track weather, and use drawings, research, and evidence-based explanations to communicate their learning.
Science Enrichment (Week 2) | Kamehameha Schools
Science enrichment is a place-based science enrichment packet that uses kilo, questioning, prediction, comparison, research, and hands-on environmental action to help students explore their home and school environments. Activities address native Hawaiian birds, plant traits, weather, invasive species, mosquitoes, and mālama ʻāina while encouraging students to learn and take action alongside their ʻohana.
Science Enrichment (Week 1) | Kamehameha Schools
Science Enrichment is a hands-on packet that encourages learners to practice kilo, inquiry, comparison, experimentation, and reflection through activities involving plants, animals, weather, soil, light, and the local environment. Students can complete one investigation per day and use the included worksheets to draw, record observations, answer questions, and share discoveries with their ʻohana.
