The tasks are open and too numerous for one student to complete alone; therefore, the course supports some of the aims of the King Island program like teamwork, problem solving, allocation of time and resources,” Dr Morley said. “The program links to the electricity and electromagnetism elements of the GCSE exam. Students construct circuits and build motors to demonstrate the key principles that will be assessed. Another element of the program is about thermal physics. Students construct a model thermometer to investigate how materials behave when heated. “Students also learn about digital signalling, how to count in binary and how to transmit images and sound using flashes of light. By the end of the course, students have moved from working individually to working as a team, where leaders and experts emerge, but all find a role.” Dr Morley said another aim of the King Island program was sustainability. “King Island is home to a renewable energy research power station that we visit as part of the course. Renewable energy is a vital part of a modern science education if we are going to avert the environmental problems that the planet faces.” Students living on King Island for a term during Year 9 also significantly develop their social skills through community living and learn and apply physical, practical and outdoor knowledge and skills. The solo experiences, expeditions, recreation, snorkelling, surfing and community development activities all contribute to the rich and learning context offered by the King Island program.

These concepts andmany others are taught regularly across unitssuch as Light and Dark, Ecology, Beneath Our ­Feet and Electricity,” Ms Parkin said. “Embedded in each unit are links with statistics,measurements and representations of data suchas graphs, charts and venn diagrams. Each unithas a set of core key words and terms for studentsto engage with through different media.

We want them to understand theimportance of sustainability and the impact ofdestruction of habitats. We want to give ourstudents the skills to face new challenges.”
