The GLOBE Program provides students with the ability to explore Earth as a System with data sets and protocols related to the Atmosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere, and Geosphere. 

Remember to never look directly at the Sun without proper safety equipment.

What is a solar eclipse?

Selected GLOBE protocols and learning activities which support some aspect of the investigation of scale, proportion and quantity are outlined.

What is the atmosphere and why is it important?

Background information on soil moisture.

This lesson introduces the Earth system science spheres through model making and discussion.

A system is an organized group of related components that work together to carry out functions that the individual parts cannot do alone.  The Earth System, like the human body system, are similar in that they comprise diverse parts that interact in complex ways.

Compare images from two volcanic eruptions in the Kuril Islands which occurred ten years apart and complete a graphic organizer for impacts on different Earth spheres. 

In this lesson students will explore the Solar Orbiter Mission. 

Students explore the spatial patterns observed in meteorological data and learn how this information is used to predict weather and understand climate behavior.
