In this interactive, students will explore safe methods for viewing the Sun at home or in the classroom, including using solar eclipse glasses and a pinhole projector. The interactive includes a video that explains how the projector works and how to build one.

The Hurricane Dynamics Implementation Sequence provides a series of lessons and activities for students to learn how hurricanes affect the different spheres within the Earth System by using maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report informat

Explore and connect to GLOBE protocol bundles. Each bundle has related Earth System Data Explorer datasets identified.

GLOBE protocols and learning activities that complement exploration of the Flow of Energy and Matter are outlined.

The Earth's system is characterized by the interaction of processes that take place on molecular (very small) and planetary (very large) spatial scales, as well as on short and long time scales. Before scientists may begin their work with these data, it is important that they understand what the data are.

Dr. Stackhouse uses satellite observations of the Earth-atmosphere system from multiple sources to study Earth’s global energy cycle, especially the processes that cause variability from global to regional scales. Dr. Stackhouse also develops new data products and data systems to help analyze these processes and more efficiently understand and use renewable energy sources.

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

What is a solar eclipse?

Find GLOBE protocols and learning activities that complement exploration of solar eclipses.

In this activity, students will model the geometry of solar eclipses using quarters to represent the Sun and Moon (not to scale).

This interactive guides students through exploring how stars create the elements that make up the universe and life itself. Students will be able to identify the key elements in their bodies that were created from exploding stars.
