Earth As a System
Protocol Instructions
Students measure their height, arm span, and foot length to show how living organism’s parts are related to the whole. Students use this concept to understand how circumference of trees can be used to estimate biomass.
Enhancement Materials: Allometry Example (xls)
Modeling Activities
Computer models (at varying levels of complexity) predict the change in biomass and carbon storage or size of carbon pools and fluxes over time, and give students the opportunity to use an important scientific tool.

Share your Davis Weather Station data with GLOBE via this simple 2 step process. (Updated 2023).
Air Temperature, Barometric Pressure, Precipitation, Relative Humidity, Wind
Field Guides
If you're switching to the "new way" to send your Davis data to GLOBE - be sure to stop sharing via the "old way". This guide walks you through the steps to avoid sending duplicate data to GLOBE. (Updated for 2023)
