Earth System - Elementary GLOBE

Earth System Module

It is time for the big play, but the GLOBE Kids are still debating which part of the Earth system deserves the lead role. In this story, students will learn how all of Earth's processes are interconnected, and how living creatures interact with those processes.

By the end of this module, students will be able to identify processes where Earth systems are interacting, use microenvironments to study natural phenomenon and demonstrate their knowledge of Earth system spheres in a creative way.
