The Cape Cod Catboat Crew Challenge is an interactive maritime science adventure designed for students in grade 4 and up to explore some of the science behind sailing, boatbuilding, and other maritime subjects. The Cape Cod Catboat Crew Challenge can be completed both individually or in teams, in school or at home. All you need is an Internet connection, a printer, and some simple materials to complete the Investigations (experiments/labs). Students will visit websites to learn about different maritime topics, or CAT-egories. Each CAT-egory has an accompanying "Ship's Log" that serves as a guide and answer sheet. Students answer questions, make observations and connections, and draw conclusions. Each of the questions is assigned a point value. The more points you earn by getting questions correct, the better your chance at earning a top spot on the crew of the catboat Sarah. Will you be the 1st Mate, the Helmsman, or a Deck Hand?
