While specifically designed for seventh-grade teachers and students in central O'ahu, Restoring Ea could be adapted and used by middle school teachers across the country who are looking to engage their students in meaningful, next-generation science learning.
This activity will expose students to the local fish in their lakes. The students will be asked to identify, sort, and classify local fish.
Students are introduced to the basic biology behind Pacific salmon migration and the many engineered Columbia River dam structures that aid in their passage through the river's hydroelectric dams. Students apply what they learn about the salmon life cycle as they think of devices and modifications that might be implemented at dams to aid in the natural cycle of fish migration, and as they make (hypothetical) Splash Engineering presentations about their proposed fish mitigation solutions for Birdseye River's dam in Thirsty County.
