Dr. Kevin Czajkowski informs the group about GLOBE webinars and GLOBE Science Symposia occurring virtually and throughout the United States. Ellen Perkins, teacher from Waterloo Elementary, Monroe, Michigan, describes a GLOBE project on surface temperature and the number of worms in the soil done with kindergarten students. Jessica Taylor from NASA Langley Research Center showcases the GLOBE Elementary Story Books along with the other resources available to teachers. Dr. C provides information about the University of Toledo's Professional Development focusing on Elementary GLOBE taking place from July 10-14 on campus. Dr. C announces an exciting opportunity for schools around Lake Erie. NASA is going to fly an aircraft over Toledo and Lake Erie with a thermal sensor during the week of February 20 to 24, 2017. Dr. C needs your students take surface temperature observations during that week around 3:00 pm or later and enter the data on the GLOBE website. The surface temperature observations taken from the surface will be combined with the aerial data and satellite imagery. Recorded on 01.25.2017.
