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.
H. Allometry
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.
