The Oscar Challenge is a natural extension of Oscar’s Adventure, a science reader distributed to SC public school 5th graders. In the reader, Oscar and his friends are whisked away on a wild water-filled ride because of a fortune cookie. They can only return home upon learning to appreciate the world, and water, around them. The friends arrive at their appreciation through observation.
Everyone makes observations whether they realize it or not. Some are qualitative and others are quantitative.
This kit intends to demonstrate key math, ELA and science content under the larger umbrella of observing scientifically: quantitatively. It further intends to reinforce soft skills such as collaboration and communication.
Inspired by the Patriot’s Point Education Department’s collaboration with Dr. Erik Sotka for the Lowcountry Algal Monitoring Program for Students, this science kit expands the opportunity for data collection beyond the computer screen to your students’ schoolyard. Once again Patriots Point has partnered with Dr. Sotka for The Oscar Challenge.
Each component in the kit is numbered and labeled for a user friendly experience.
Patriots Point encourages and looks forward to any and all feedback.
