Resources

The New Hampshire GLOBE Team supports educators and students engaged in GLOBE activities through workshops, connections to STEM mentors, direct programming, and individual support.

For the UNH Leitzel Center GLOBE Partnerships current and past activities see the Activities page.

Earth Around Us Tent Program

The Earth Around Us Tents are a traveling educational lending program consisting of a Soil Tent and a Water Tent. This program combines hands-on science activities centered around an Elementary GLOBE storybook and a 10x10 pop-up tent with immersive murals depicting students’ observations of their local ecosystems. The Earth Around Us Tent Program offers an opportunity for career exploration with scientists, activities aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), data collection, and flexibility to work with a school's timeline, curriculum, and needs. 

 

GLOBE eTraining (GLOBE Program Resource)

Virtual, at-your-own-pace eTraining to become a certified GLOBE educator. 

 

Elementary GLOBE (GLOBE Program Resource)

Introduces K-4 students to Earth system science using a storybook approach, with learning activities that encourage observation and measurement. See modules, storybooks, activities, and teacher guide. 

 

Scope and Sequence Models for Science Literacy by the NH Education and Environment Team (NHEET)

NHEET is a public-private collaborative of state-based, teacher professional development providers in the fields of environmental education, natural science, and scientific inquiry.  Members include NH Project Learning Tree, Project WET at the NH Department of Environmental Services, Projects WILD and HOME at the NH Fish and Game Department, the GLOBE Program, University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension and the USDA Forest Service.  Our mission is to support schools and teachers to provide their students with the resources and opportunities to be skilled and knowledgeable stewards of our natural environment.

NHEET developed three scope and sequence models as examples of how vertical integration can be accomplished.  The models are based on three universal science themes covered in most New Hampshire schools and commonly taught at several different grade levels:

  • Atmosphere, weather and climate
  • Water and watersheds
  • Ecosystems and habitats

The models use activities from Projects Learning Tree, WILD, and WET, and protocols and activities from the GLOBE Program. Additionally, process-oriented Project HOME affords an opportunity for synthesizing prior learning through wildlife habitat enhancement projects.
