Science Practices: Conducting Field Investigations
This page provides webinars and resources related to conducting successful field investigations.
Webinars:
In this webinar from 2019, GLOBE Project Web Manager, Cornell Lewis, demonstrates how to create a data site and enter your data on the GLOBE website. He also gives a brief overview of how to access and retrieve the data from the Visualization system. Uploading data to the website is essential for participating in the SRS, and also a great way to contribute to the millions of measurements used by scientists and students world-wide!
This webinar from 2016 was hosted by Pat Otto, Washington's Project Learning Tree coordinator, from the Pacific Education Institute. The webinar goes from categorizing questions to constructing arguments/explanations of data.
Watch Pat Otto's webinar on youtube.
