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. 

Students synthesize information from My NASA Data maps and texts from the EPA website to determine how levels of criteria pollutants have changed from 2005 to 2021. This research will prepare them to respond to the lesson’s essential questions during a Socratic seminar.

Discover how GLOBE hydrosphere protocols and learning activities can provide hands-on opportunities for students to explore My NASA Data hydrosphere phenomena.

Discover how GLOBE supports hands-on science for locally relevant learning which is also put into a global perspective.

Students use scale to determine the area of volcanic deposits following the March 3, 2015 eruption of Chile's Mount Villarrica stratovolcano, one of the country's most active volcanoes.

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

Through guided inquiry, students will identify interactions of the four major scientific spheres on Earth: biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere. They will then identify how these systems are represented and interact in their classroom aquarium.

Check out the Arctic and Earth SIGNs video to explore how climate models are used in climate change research.

To investigate the different rates of heating and cooling of certain materials on earth in order to understand the heating dynamics that take place in the Earth’s atmosphere.

In this activity, students will analyze past and future eclipse data and orbital models to determine why we don’t experience eclipses every month.
