Featured Learning Activities
This month's featured activities go with GLOBE's Clouds Protocol
Cloud Watch
Students monitor clouds and weather to begin to understand the connections between the two.
Estimating Cloud Cover- A Simulation
Students practice estimating how much of the sky is covered by clouds.
Observing, Describing, and Identifying Clouds
Students begin to learn cloud types and their names.
Field-based Learning Activity: Biometry and cycles in nature
Students investigate one or more trees through observation and measurement. Students estimate the height of trees, measure the height of trees (by pencil, GLOBE Observer app), measure the circumference of the tree and crown width. Students calculate the age of tree and connect the measurements taken with cycles in nature. They compare results across groups and synthesize findings into a visual poster.
This Learning Activity was developed by Snježana Zoraja and Kristina Fratrović, Dubovac Primary School, Karlovac, Croatia (published in December 2025).
