  2. Learn Science by Doing Science • GLOBE students learn authentic science by collecting accurate data and using the data in their investigations. • GLOBE student collected data is used to help scientists generate new knowledge about the Earth.

  3. How GLOBE Works • Data Collection • Data Recording • Data Entry • Data Use • Asking questions • Carrying out investigations • Interpreting Data • Using mathematics and computational thinking • Building skills to identify Patterns, Scale, and Quantity • Asking questions • Carrying out investigations • Identifying and describing parts of systems and cycles. • Evaluating & Communicating information • Communicating observations about patterns, scale and quantity • Communicating connections between parts of systems and cycles. • Asking questions • Planning and carrying out investigations • Analyzing and interpreting data • Using mathematics and computational thinking • Constructing explanations • Engaging in argument from evidence • Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information • Using and developing system and cycle models • Explaining observations of stability and change.

  4. Data Collected by GLOBE Students More than different 35measurements • Atmosphere • Hydrology • Soil • Land Cover • Seasons/Phenology • Remote Sensing State GLOBE Partner and International GLOBE HQ to support teachers/students True partnership of scientists, students, and the local community!

  5. All Around the World • Since 1995, GLOBE has been adopted in 111 countries. • Over 22.8 Million measurements have been reported.

  6. Who can participate? • ANYONE! • Must be trained to report data • Anyone can access data www.globe.gov

  7. Student Climate Research Campaign 1. Climate Foundations These introductory activities allow students to study real data and understand key concepts of weather and climate 2. Intensive Observing Periods Students from around the world are encouraged to take themed measurements over a short period of time, and analyze their data. 3. Research Investigations Ultimately, students can carry out their own research projects, either alone, or with other schools in your country or around the world.

  8. Student Climate Research Campaign The Great Global Investigation of Climate (GGIC) The GGIC is focused on defining local climate through GLOBE protocols and the student inquiry question “What is my climate and how has it changed?” Classrooms are asked to collect and enter temperature and precipitation data in the GLOBE database and investigate how to classify local climate using these atmospheric data. The Climate and Land Cover Project (CLC) The Climate and Land Cover investigation is a research activity involving GLOBE schools and climate scientists to understand land cover and climate.

  9. Objectives of this webinar series Prepare to participate in the Great Global Investigation of Climate by: • Learn about weather and climate foundations while participating in some of the SCRC Activities (sessions 1 & 2) • Become familiar with GLOBE resources for use with our students by exploring the GLOBE website and participating in the webinar sessions. (all sessions) • Become familiar with the GLOBE Protocols that are a part of the Great Global Investigation of Climate. (sessions 3 & 4) • Contribute to GGIC while practicing Data Entry. (session 5) • For some: • Become a certified GLOBE teachers so that my students can contribute to GLOBE. (participation in sessions and short homework assignments)

  10. Sponsored by: • National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) • National Science Foundation (NSF) • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) and • the U.S. Department of State • Administered through a partnership between NASA and the University Corporation of Atmospheric Research (UCAR) & University of Texas, Tyler. • Supported by a network of partners throughout the world, including the Iowa Academy of Science.
