  1. The GLOBE Program: Engaging students in scientific research around the world Dr. Donna J. Charlevoix GLOBE Program Office

  2. 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

  3. 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 • Inspireand Connect the next generation of global scientists

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

  5. GLOBE Science • 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

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

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

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

  9. 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

  10. Student Climate Research Campaign Engaging Youth to Understand Climate • Planning Phase: 2009-2010 • Create International Scientist Network • Annual Meeting Professional Development on climate • Develop partnerships with International Science Organizations • Creating technical infrastructure • Campaign: September 2011- June 2013 • Events: Data Blitz’s • Student-led climate research • International student-scientist collaboration

  11. Student Climate Research Campaign Engaging Youth to Understand Climate • Science content • Climate • Carbon • Biome • Data Foundational Experiences Events • Data Blitz • Scientist Directed • Organization Directed Process Skills Research Investigations • Exploring Ecosystems • Energy, Carbon & Your Footprint
