Resource Title:The GLOBE Program
Description:Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment(GLOBE) is a hands-on program that joins students (K-12), educators, and scientists from around the world in studying the global environment. GLOBE students work under the guidance of GLOBE-trained teachers to make environmental observations at or near their schools, report their data through the Internet, receive and use global images created from their data, and study environmental topics in their classrooms. Scientists use GLOBE data in their research and provide feedback to the students. Students report observations in these categories: Atmosphere (cloud cover and type, precipitation, pH of precipitation, temperature); Hydrology; Soil (characterization, moisture, temperature, infiltration); Land Cover/Biology; and GPS.
