We used a compass to determine the whales direction of travel.

WHALE OBSERVATION

The Purpose of our Whale Lab is to identify and learn about whale migration, and 

what the processes is for Humpback Whales. 

MY QUESTION

Will we see more humpback whales

during the Beginning of whale season

or towards the end of whale season?

HYPOTHESIS

My hypothesis is that we will see more

humpback Whales during the end of whale season because Hawaii 

is one of the last stops in a humpback whale Migration.

My Experience of Whale Observation with the call was pretty great. I got to see a lot of whales

in the ocean with the limited time i had out at the observation spot. I got to see them blow, "tail slap" and do jumps.
