Navigating Change with NOAA By: Amanda Le From: Haha’ione School Grade 4 Mrs. Hasegawa

Navigating Change with NOAA This is a girl pouring ocean water into a Turbidity tube. A Turbidity tube is a tube that measures turbidity. You have to pour ocean water until you can't see secy disk. Right now she is at the Aquarium and turbidity is like runoff. Turbidity is bad for the ocean creatures. When ocean creatures or fish eat to much of there nutrients they get sick. I have poured the turbidity water in and we are looking how much ocean water I poured in. So far it got up the number ninety five.

Katie and I (Amanda) are looking at sand samples now at the Maritime Museum. Before we were looking at Polynesians in a slide show. It was about how Polynesians lived. Polynesians have ranks and gods like Lono, Chief, and Ali’i. The Ali’I is the one that you could talk to the god Lono. They had lots of things to do like build things and plant things. They also had a conch shell to call the people. Next I get to go to the tape recorders. Go see the next slide.

Navigating Change with NOAA This is also at the maritime museum. I am listening to a tape recorder about Captain Cook. Captain Cook is a man who went to The Hawaiian islands where the Hawaiians live. Captain Cook went to the island and the Hawaiians saw him so they thought he was Lono and treated, and served him. Sooner or later the Hawaiians found out that Captain cook was NOT Lono! Then they killed Captain Cook and they were happy. I finished learning about Captain Cook and now they’re showing a big rock.

Be Green People eat food and rubbish goes to the storm drain. Trash goes to the fish so they will die. This is like turbidity, turbidity makes run-off. Turbidity can kill fish too. Fish need nutrients like us. Fish have nutrients like Nitrates and Phosphates. To much nitrates and phosphates are not good for fish. Fish don’t only eat The Nutrients they also eat “Alge”. Alge is a green thing that grows on rocks or objects in water.
