Program For the
Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Oyster Bank
Restoration Site Classroom Program
There are three stages to the
program. The first stage is developing skills in data collection. Within this
stage, Student’s learn the skills of data collection. The second stage is
using the data collection skills in the process of collecting and the
publishing of the marine and meteorological data. The final stage is the
interpretation and use of the data in ongoing and future projects. Our classroom lesson plan for
stage one involves 4 levels of activities. Stage One - With
the goal of turning every student into a Scientist, our first activity
is learning how to navigate our
website for resources to be used in the data collection process. Here you
will learn the scientific process used and review the history of the oyster
restoration project at Patriots Point. You will also be required to obtain
the Data Collection Sheet and collection protocols for the research project.
The sheet will record all findings, whether obtained in the classroom or on
site at Patriots Point. Stage Two - The second
activity is developed to assist the student in understanding the data
collection process and tools. Using the Data Collection Sheet, students’ learn
to read and understand the data collection process. Discussion included the equipment
used and the importance of a uniformed collection process with protocols. The
sheet will contain a list of equipment that may be used in the project. The
detailed explanation of each collection tool is provided. The student’s will have an opportunity to
test their knowledge with our question and answer form. The final activity is
a scavenger hunt through the data collection process as it applies to our
various programs. Stage Three - Students participate
in the research sites data collection process in one of our programs at This lesson contains links to the South Carolina Standards
in science and mathematics which you should practice and master as you read
the material, interpret data, answer questions, and solve problems. By frequently
looking back on these objectives you can keep a focus and evaluate your own
learning. Objectives: ·
First objective requires you to go to
the Oyster Bank Restoration Page, (click on the link at the bottom of the
page, follow specific instructions, and then answer questions related to the
places you visit.) ·
