Globe for Grades 3-8

GLOBE is an international science and education project that engages students in monitoring earth’s systems through data collection and reporting and participation in research. Sponsored by NASA and the National Science Foundation, GLOBE equips you with resources to help your students meet performance expectations as prescribed by the new science standards.

This hands-on workshop will walk you through the basic protocols in atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. We will identify disciplinary core ideas, cross cutting concepts, and science and engineering practices. Oh, and we will be outside and have fun!

This workshop will certify you as a GLOBE trained teacher.
