Day 11 Friday, July 1st
"I feel like a scrub."--Hartman (Whiteland Warrior and Batesville Bulldog)
"Parker Tall...you need your own cape, and it needs to have a PT on it....Parrrrrrrker Taaaaaaall."--Suzie (Whiteland Warrior)
In the morning, the students made SAND WHEELS. This was a very exciting activity for Ms. Barna from Roncalli. She is going to put her sand wheel on her Christmas tree. The sand came from three beaches that we have visited on the Big Island--Pololu, Puako, and Hapuna. The students also did Gyotaku; this is a Japanese art form which involves painting fish and imprinting them onto something...in our case, it was a T-shirt. In the afternoon, the students went to Puako for their final ocean lab, and the SCUBA students went on their final two dives. At the completion of those dives, they were declared officially certified PADI divers! Congratulations Parker Tall and Kaitlyn! After the dives and the lab, everyone enjoyed free time at Hapuna Beach. This was the last trip to Hapuna Beach :(...very sad. Currently, the students are studying hard for their final examination!

"McDonald's doesn't even taste good anymore....oooooh, get it out."--Hannah (Whiteland Warrior)
In the morning, class consisted of learning about fish--classification, external and internal anatomy, and physiology. This was to prepare the students for their afternoon fish identification lab at Lapakahi State Park. That evening was our last sunset dinner at Hapuna Beach....boo hoo hoo :(

"I've got sea spawn on my hand."--Amber (Whiteland Warrior)
In the morning, the marine science students went to Puako to explore the tide pools in the daytime. They found another octopus, some pencil urchins, more sea cucumbers (aka turds of the sea), and crabs. The SCUBA students went on their first dive while the marine science students were exploring the tide pools. On the dive, we got to see TWO white tip reef sharks and so many turtles, we lost count. In the afternoon, the marine science students went to class and learned about plankton, marine plants/seaweeds, and tide pool ecology. That evening, they learned how to hula!
