Today (21 September): “Planting Roots and Leaving a Legacy Behind, and Setting the Research Stage for Year 5 of the Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign”
The Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign will be hosting the webinar: “Planting Roots and Leaving a Legacy Behind, and Setting the Research Stage for Year 5 of the Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign Focus: North America” on Wednesday, 21 September, at 01:30 p.m. EDT (05:30 p.m. UTC).
This webinar will be the final webinar for Year 4 of the Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign. Next month (October 2022) will begin Year 5. During this webinar, there will be several guest speakers, led by teacher Julie Houck (Defiance Elementary School in Defiance, Ohio, USA).
Julie will begin by discussing how she (and her students) has used resources as a GLOBE teacher to reach the community and beyond, including how she wrote a successful grant using GLOBE connections to expand into the local community. Julie's efforts have extended to The Defiance Soil and Water Department, the GLOBE B-Wet Program (Defiance College), as well as a local county commissioner's office.
During the webinar, there will be a variety of speakers from these groups joining in on the discussion. This type of collaboration will propel participants into discussion centering on activities for inside and outside the classroom, and how to bring students together; it will also help to develop student research topics using new and archived GLOBE data, and set the stage for guided student research during Year 5 of the campaign, as well as for collaboration with other GLOBE schools for student research.
If you are interested in joining the webinar, please send an email to Campaign Lead, Brian Campbell. To learn more about the Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign, click here.
