Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) GLOBE Vision Worldwide community of students, teachers, scientists, and citizens working together to better understand, sustain, and improve Earth’s environment at local, regional, and global scales GLOBE Mission To promote the teaching and learning of science, enhance environmental literacy and stewardship, and promote scientific discovery

Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program Goals Improve student achievement across the curriculum; Enhance environmental awareness; Contribute to scientific understanding of Earth as a system; and Inspire and Connect the next generation of global scientists

Learning Science by Doing Science GLOBE Students conduct inquiry projects following scientific method Every GLOBE school has at least one GLOBE-trained teacher Students work with Scientists

GLOBE protocols ensure high quality data GLOBE measurements are used by the international science community GLOBE students have authentic research opportunities while gathering data needed for Earth science research GLOBE activities strengthen global links between scientists and students GLOBE Science

Temperature Precipitation Cases of Malaria GLOBE Student Research Students develop own research questions Use GLOBE measurements to answer locally-relevant questions Benin GLOBE school investigated malaria in their community

“GLOBE is the quintessentially ideal program for involving kids in science.” Nobel Laureate Dr. Leon Lederman GLOBE Around the World 110+ GLOBE Partner Countries

GLOBE Partner Countries Implemented through bilateral agreements Recruit, train, mentor GLOBE teachers Help connect scientists to GLOBE community

GLOBE Investigation Areas Atmosphere (climate) Land Cover Biology Hydrology Phenology Soils Over 55 scientific protocols and 60+ learning activities Over 20 Million scientific measurements recorded on the GLOBE Web site for use in student research
