Below are some resources which can be utilized  to help your students have a beginning understanding of the concepts and vocabulary involved with our education programs.

Some of the activity resources are aimed at our Expedition to Moku o Lo'e and Overnight Program Labs - others are aimed at establishing a basic knowledge base for our Walking Tours.

The Invertebrate Identification Cards allow students to practice identifying organisms they encounter in the Algae Lab. *Updated versions to be posted soon.







The Algae Lab Data Sheet is the template that students use to record the organisms they find in a clump of invasive alga in order to numerically categorize the habitat. It is useful for the students to know the basic invertebrate groups to do this activity. Check out the Invertebrate Identification Cards above.

Additionally, the Algae Lab Data Sheet and Plankton Worksheet are filled in by the students while participating in the lab.
