Interactive Activity

Weather Adds Up to Climate Interactive Activity: This activity is an interactive version of the Elementary GLOBE activity Weather Adds Up to Climate. When users access the Interactive Weather Adds Up to Climate activity, they will be prompted to make a copy. It will be saved in their Google drive and can be assigned through Google Classroom.

GLOBE 21st Century Community Learning Centers After-school Module: Clouds and Earth's Energy Budget

In 2016, the NASA Langley team developed a GLOBE afterschool program for the U.S. Department of Education's 21st Century Community Learning Centers program. The program was designed to be implemented in out of school time settings with students in grades 5-8. Students use GLOBE to measure cloud and surface temperature data, and to analyze collected data to determine how clouds impact Earth's energy systems.

See facilitator and student guides, along with a project intro video.
