Do You Know Your MUC? Check out GLOBE’s New Learning Activity!
Gary Popiolkowski, GLOBE Distinguished Educator Fellow, has created a new learning activity for GLOBE called, "Do You Know Your MUC?" The activity helps students learn about land cover by visually examining their study site as well as mapping and recording ground cover.
The purpose of the learning activity is to determine and produce a land cover map of plant life at a site to determine the Modified UNESCO Classification (MUC). The activity is available in the Biosphere Section of the Teacher's Guide or download it directly here.
And don’t forget to check out the MUC Field Guide App, which identifies the land cover classification for a specific location. This iPhone app (version 2.2) automates the guide published by The GLOBE Program and contains the complete set of MUC codes.
