The GLOBE Program is a worldwide community of students, teachers, scientists, and citizens working together to better understand, sustain, and improve Earth's environment at local, regional, and global scales. - from the GLOBE website
The GLOBE Earth Systems Poster Learning Activities were created to help students identify global patterns and connections in environmental data contained in the GLOBE Earth Systems Poster and to develop an understanding of the interactions of Earth systems. There are six Earth System variable for students to analyze: insolation, surface temperature, cloud fraction, precipitation, aerosols and biosphere. Copies of the poster and accompanying student activities are available online. All of the datasets from the original poster are now available for Science On a Sphere through the NASA Earth Observatory.
The location of Globe schools from 1995 - 2008 is available as a SOS dataset here.
Notable Features:
- There are six datasets to help students identify global patterns
- Student Activities are available online
