# 1819: Kō ke au iaHalaʻea. The current carried Halaʻea away. (Said of one who goes out and forgets to return. Haleʻea was a chief of Kaʻū who was so selfish that he demanded every fish caught by the fishermen. After years of going without fish, the fishermen rebelled. One day, the whole fleet went to the fishing grounds outside of Kalae and did not return. The chief wanted the catch and ordered a servant to go and ask for it. The servant refused, and in anger the chief went himself. When he asked for the fish the whole fleet turned the prows of their canoes shoreward. One by one the fishermen unloaded their fish onto the chief’s canoe. The canoe began to sink under the weight of the fish, and the chief cried out to the men to stop. They refused. The chief, his canoe, and his fish were swept out on the current and never seen again. This current, which comes from the east and flows out to sea at Kalae, is known as Ke au oHalaʻea.) (p. 196)

# 2225: Na kaihaeleluaoKalae, oKāwililāuaoHalaʻea. The two sea currents of Kalae—Kāwili and Halaʻea. (The Halaʻea current, named for an evil chief who was swept away, comes from the east to Kalae and sweeps out to sea. The Kāwili (Hit-and-Twist) comes from the west and flows out alongside the Halaʻea. Woe betide anyone caught between.) (p. 243)

Introduction to PlanktonLessons to Elaborate Alia Thompson, Kaimukī Middle School, Alia_thompson@notes.k12.hi.us EuvelynCalma, Nānākuli High School, euvelyn@gmail.com

Summary and Goals Students study how global climate change is affecting plankton Students identify specific topics to enhance their understanding of plankton adaptations in order to explain how they survive within ocean currents. Students collect, compare and share data
