Be a Scientist: The GLOBE Program encourages you to use

Explore and connect to the GLOBE Weather protocol bundle. 

Explore and connect to the GLOBE Water Cycle protocol bundle. 

Explore and connect to the GLOBE Mosquito protocol bundle. 

In this activity, students explore three indicators of drought are: soil moisture, lack of precipitation, and decreased streamflows. Students investigate each of these parameters develop a sense for the effects of drought on land.  

NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.

The activities in this guide will help students understand variations in environmental parameters by examining connections among different phenomena measured on local, regional and global scales.

Scientists are interested in learning how the vegetation (collection of plants) of an area can be used to study Earth's climate.

Information from satellites if often used to display information about objects. This information can include how things appear, as well as their contents. Explore how pixel data sequences can be used to create an image and interpret it.

Scientific data are often represented by assigning ranges of numbers to specific colors. The colors are then used to make false color images which allow us to see patterns more easily. Students will make a false-color image using a set of numbers.
