NOSB: Objectives & ImpactsNOSB was initiated in 1998 to:
• Support International Year of the Ocean and promote ocean literacy
• Stimulate student interest in the ocean sciences
• Give students opportunities to examine marine science as a field of study and possible career path
• Help educators use the oceans as an interdisciplinary vehicle for teaching biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and mathematics

Competition Format
• Competition is made up of rounds
• One round consists of a:– 6 minute buzzer half (no
more than 10 questions)– 2 team challenge questions– 2+ minute break– 6 minute buzzer half
Question FormatThree Types of Questions:
• Toss Up (multiple choice; answered individually by person who buzzed in)
• Bonus (short answer or multiple choice; team can discuss, but answer must come from the captain)
• Team Challenge Questions (TCQs; a team effort, but the captain turns in the answer sheet for the team)
Types of Responses from StudentsOnce a question is read by the moderator, the students can respond
in three ways, they can either:
• Wait to be recognized by the moderator before answering• Interrupt the reading of the question, be recognized, then answer.• Blurt out the answer before being recognized.
• Only the first answer counts!
Scoring Matrix for Toss Ups
Correct* Incorrect
Recognized + 4 points 0 points
Interrupt + 4 points ‐ 4 points
Blurt 0 points 0 points
*If a team answers a toss‐up question correctly, they receive a bonus question worth six points
