Weather Science: GLOBE

GLOBE is an international environmental program sponsored by NASA in the U.S. and by UNESCO in many other countries.  Over 36,000 schools around the world participate.  GLOBE has hundreds of activities.  Don’t be overwhelmed.  Instead, look at GLOBE Weather.  There is a detailed teacher guide, student activities, a bundle of protocols, , and resources, such as this cloud chart.  The tools and models are easy to replicate.  I’ve used GLOBE protocols and resources with my science classes.  I had quite a bit of training; the issue for newbies is the sheer volume of resources.  So don’t drown, start by reading over the Weather materials before examining the other protocols.  If you like GLOBE’s content, try these weather related projects.
