Science

Ho‘okele’s Science Curriculum will focus on Hawaii Content and Performance Standards (HCPS III) while integrating STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) knowledge and skills through Project Lead the Way (PLTW).  PLTW is an engaging, project/problem-based learning curriculum that challenges students to wonder and discover as they apply their problem-solving skills and knowledge to real-world situations.  The program prepares students for STEM careers by encouraging students to be critical thinkers as they identify problems and uncover original solutions.

4th graders touch their eggshells to feel the affects of being soaked in diet soda and water over night. The eggshells represent teeth.They're observing with their senses to record their data so that they can come to a conclusion about which type of beverage is the healthiest choice.

Project Lead the Way

Project Lead The Way provides transformative learning experiences for K-12 students and teachers across the U.S. We create an engaging, hands-on classroom environment and empower students to develop in-demand knowledge and skills they need to thrive. We also provide teachers with the training, resources, and support they need to engage students in real-world learning.
