Climate Change Research Project.
Overview/Main Project Synopsis
Through all of our classes, we have been learning about climate change. We were able to learn about the many facets of this issue through the different lenses of each subject. Our main project was centered in biology, where we learned about soil health and how that affects droughts.

- What are the goals of this assignment?
- Our goal is to find a solution to a cause of droughts on Maui. Specifically, we wanted to figure out how to protect our water table via preserving organic matter in soils.
- What did you learn? What are you proud of?
- I learned a lot about the importance of soil, as well as what soil is and its different components.
- I am proud of how much we reached out to talk to experts in our community. Reaching out has never been my strong suit, but after talking to Dr. Frazier and Dr. Deenik, I see how beneficial it can be.
- What did you struggle with? What do you want to get better at?
- I struggled with working cohesively with my group and understanding the guidelines for the assignment.
- I would like to get better at time management and proactiveness.
- How does this assignment represent a 21st century skill?
- This assignment represents Global Awareness and Interpersonal skills. Climate change affects not just Maui, but the entire globe. Interpersonal skills came into play with our various presentations and conversations with experts.
