The teacher's guide main page has the following statement above thumbnail images for each of the protocol areas:
"
GLOBE provides five scientific investigations, each providing background information, measurement protocols and learning activities. Also provided are data sheets and field guides to assist in the accurate collection of data."

If I didn't know about GLOBE, then this would tell me GLOBE is 5 different investigations for the classroom. I think a little tweek in the wording would make the statement more accurately reflect how GLOBE is used. Something like...

GLOBE provides five scientific investigation areas, each providing background information, measurement protocols and learning activities. Resources from the five areas can be combined in many ways, providing students and educators with thousands of options for building a meaningful scientific investigations. Also provided are data sheets and field guides to assist in the accurate collection of data.
