They’re here! The juvenile sea urchins were delivered today, August 10, 2012!

The urchins are about 1” in diameter.
Dr. Rick Jones from UH-West Oahu received a grant from NOAA and selected to work with Hale Kula on this project.

Sustainability and stewardship will be the focus of this project.
Fourth and fifth graders in the blended learning class were the first to receive their sea urchins.

Brainstorming – What do we know about sea urchins? What do we want to find out?
Dr. Jones answers questions from second graders in B4.

Observing the urchins – seeing, touching, even smelling the creatures.
Studying real-world problems and solutions = being a community contributor (General Learner Outcome #2)

It starts with observations and questions
Kindergarten students from J4 were a little apprehensive about touching the urchins (left). After a few minutes in their new home, the urchins are already eating the limu and moving around the aquarium.

and selecting a question to study
Do sea urchins prefer the sandy area or do they prefer to live on the coral? (3rd grade, H1)
Which food helps sea urchins grow faster – limu, unseasoned nori, or a specially-formulated dry food? (5th grade, A1)

Sea Urchins for Coral Recovery: Hale Kula’s Climate Stewards
ProgramProject Goals:
Through Comprehensive evaluation we will measure:
• whether the program increases environmental and climate literacy of the teachers and the students
• whether the program increases the number and impact of climate stewardship activities at the school and in the community

Project Goals continued:•Increased control of invasive algae on the reefs of Kaneohe Bay•Continued participation of Hale Kula and addition of schools in the Scholfield/Wheeler Complex and then to other schools in Central Oahu and the Leeward Coast•School and community adoption of project management
after year five to sustain climate stewardship activities
