GLOBE Teachers
Schools
The GLOBE Program is implemented through a worldwide network of primary and secondary schools, as well as in many universities and informal learning spaces around the world. These schools monitor environmental changes both locally and worldwide, and document their findings in scientific research reports.
Educators
There are tens of thousands of GLOBE-trained educators who implement GLOBE in their classrooms and informal learning spaces using GLOBE's inquiry-based science projects. GLOBE provides educators with professional development opportunities as well as continuing support from the GLOBE Implementation Office, scientists, and GLOBE partners.
Students
GLOBE students have reported millions of measurements in the investigation areas of Atmosphere/Climate, Hydrology, Soil, Land Cover/Biology and Phenology. Following an inquiry-based research approach, GLOBE students pose questions and make initial observations about the environment; design investigations and take environmental measurements at or near their schools using GLOBE measurement protocols and appropriate, calibrated measurement equipment; report their observations to the GLOBE database via the Internet; use tools on the GLOBE website to create maps and graphs from their own data, and those of GLOBE schools around the world; analyze their data and other data sets; and as all scientists do at the end of their research, present and publish the results of their analyses.
GLOBE improves student understanding by involving students in conducting real science – taking measurements, analyzing data, and participating in research collaborations with other students, as well as with scientists engaged in cutting-edge Earth Systems Science research.
