Hoike o Haleakala
is a multi-disciplinary, science-based environmental education curriculum designed to help sustain the native Hawaiian landscape and culture by helping students establish and deepen connections to the land and the culture it supports.
The Hoike curriculum supports State of Hawaii high school educational standards, particularly in the science disciplines.
Each activity is correlated to state science standards, offering educators a way to fulfill educational requirements using local ecosystems and issues as a context.
These materials help bring science home for students while fostering a strong science background and critical-thinking skills.
The Hoike o Haleakala curriculum is divided into four modules, each of which covers a discrete ecosystem on Haleakala (on the island of Maui, Hawaii).
