Middle and High School Teachers: NASA and GLOBE Have Teamed Up to Create a Supported Atmospheric Investigation! Check Out This Amazing Resource!
NASA and The GLOBE Program have teamed up to create an Atmospheric Investigation with videos, guides, and extra support. Check it out today!
During this creative scientific investigation, students will carry out a series of learning activities that have been designed by NASA and GLOBE. These activities will enable students to gather data about the Earth and how it functions as a global system. Students will be using instruments and their own senses to collect cloud and surface temperature data at sites located near their school. They will record the data they gather in their science research journals and follow the steps of the science research process as they work to complete their investigation. The four main components of the module include learning activities student inquiry investigations using GLOBE protocols, subject matter expert (SME) connections, and a culminating student presentation.
The Objective: Students will collect and analyze GLOBE measurements of clouds and surface temperature to determine how clouds impact Earth’s energy systems
Grade Level: 5-8
Time Required: Approximately 20-35 hours
This supported endeavor includes a Facilitator’s Guide, an Investigation Checklist, and Materials for Investigation (in English and Spanish). Supplemental support includes eClips, an eTraining site, a GLOBE tutorial, a downloadable S’COOL Cloud ID Chart – and more!
