Disaster Island

Year 5 – 6

Students discuss and explore a variety of natural disasters.

They will work in teams through a series of scenarios working as scientific investigators to assess and report on the impacts on Disaster Island.

In this program students will:

  • Use VR to investigate below the Earth’s crust.
  • Participate in live monitoring of seismic activity using the Earth Ed seismometer.
  • Collect data as evidence to determine stability of disaster island.
  • Prototype and control a rescue robot for earthquake assistance.
