Water's Impact

Guiding Investigative Question 2: What impact does water, both above and below ground, have on our environment?

Here are a few sample questions that you and your students might want to focus on:

• If we have a large rain event, will it flood?
• Can we grow crops in our soil now?
• Is my area prone to erosion and landslides?

Below are a few suggested GLOBE Protocols that will help you explore answers to the Water's Impact Guiding Investigative Question.

• Precipitation
• SMAP Soil Moisture
