ADD MORE FUN, EXTEND YOUR VISIT!

Make the most of your time at UnderWater World by combining any Secondary program (years 8-12) with either our Extended Investigations or Rocky Shore Researcher program.

EXTENDED INVESTIGATIONS

Take part in a day visit at UnderWater World then allow your students to visit all month long to learn even more!

Extended Experimental Investigations (EEIs) provide diverse learning experiences and assessment opportunities for senior students. Expose students to the processes of science through open investigation. The EEIs are designed to enhance the Tourism and Animal Behaviour programs.

Animal Behaviour - Adaptations and Animal Behaviour
Through an introduction to core concepts underpinning the study of animal behaviour students will identify the influences of adaptations and environment.

Senior Tourism - Investigation into a Tourist Destination
This program provides an insight into the iconic tourism destination - UnderWater World. The program provides an understanding of the marketing strategies behind design and presentation of precincts to ensure success.

Students will:
   - suggest a course of action
   - define a hypothesis
   - propose experimental design
   - execute experimental procedure
   - analyse data
   - evaluate, justify and present their own explanation of
     natural phenomena through their personal experience of it.

“The Biology teachers of Noosa District SHS have appreciated the broad opportunities given to our students by UWW in the Behaviour Management program. It has not only allowed the students to engage in a realistic research based study with a wide variety of aquatic animals but given them the opportunity to interact with the people who care for these animals.” W.Ensbey April 2009

These problem-based programs include a monthly 'researcher' pass and access to 'real world' mentors, promoting opportunities to enhance scientific literacy. Mastery of content is achieved through engaging in genuine intellectual enquiry.
