NGSS 4.LS.1 plant and animal structures

Identity. Students should explore what makes them special, especially around Hawaiian language, knowledge, and culture.

Study about rocks literally and figuratively. Study basic geography with vocabulary development around rock properties and rock cycle. Go out on weekly nature walks to collect rocks and find out what rocks are indigenous to San Diego County. Work with other rockhounders and specialists to develop our knowledge around rocks. Also learn about rocks as a metaphor. Identify the "rock" in our lives and celebrate them by creating jewelry made of the rocks found in our nature walk. Use basic lapidary skills to tumble and make jewelry. Present our "rocks" to our "rocks" at our exhibition.

Can you please take these lessons and create a project about WAYFINDING for 7th grade.

I would like to create a project based On a problem in Hawaii of coconut rhinosauras beetles that are killing many of our coconut trees in Hawaii. We are partnering with a community organization to propagate coconut, keep them safe from the beetle with the goal to share with community to replant this plant that has so many uses in our culture. I would like to make Hawaiian cultural connections
