__**KWL CHART **__


 * What we know: **

__TRANSPORT __ - We need to transport resources to and from the island as well as between settlements. - Residents need to be able to travel around the island. - The ferry system will lessen the need for motor vehicles on the island. - Residents may need to transport livestock, plants and food produce around the island.

__COMMUNICATION __ - Most of our communication systems can be acquired from satellites. - Residents need to be able to communicate with other residents and surrounding countries. - Having multiple power lines will decrease the aesthetics of the island so need to use alternate forms.

__ENERGY __ - Energy needs to be sustainable and environmentally friendly. - There needs to more than one source of energy so the island is not reliant on one resource.

- The west coast of the island is very windy and is a perfect place for a wind farm.

__TRANSPORT __ <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">- What is the most efficient and environmentally friendly way to transport resources between settlements, harbours and ports? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">- How the imported trucks will travel and effect the island? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">- Whether the residents of the island would be willing to adapt to life without an individual vehicle?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">What we need to learn: **

__<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">COMMUNICATION __ <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">- What is the most proficient and cost effective way to communicate? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">-How many different methods/resources residents could use for communication?

__<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">ENERGY __ <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">- What the environmental impacts will be if we use the oil deposits offshore as a source of energy and transport? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">- Whether the experiments using coconut oil for fuel or to produce electricity in other pacific islands have been successful or not? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">- Are the rivers on the island powerful enough to support a hydroelectricity plant? Will there be any environmental problems due to the plant? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">- Do we need to rely on visible power lines or is there a cost effective alternative to avoid this?

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px;">- We intend to research into each category (transportation, communication & energy) further to establish our recommendations for these areas. - Research other islands and countries to formulate different ideas for each topic and establish the best direction for the island to work towards. For example, we will look into other islands to see what type of transportation is used and what fuels this. -Cost effective and sustainable resources and strategies need to be explored when determining optimal transport, communication and energy implementation and outcomes.
