Learning
Landscapes: Globe Weather & WATer |
4th
-5th Grade GLOBE:
GLOBE Weather: Students use
the GLOBE weather station to monitor weather and
record data on a weekly basis. Students check
temperature, relative humidity, cloud cover,
contrail cover and rain/snow fall. Learning
Landscapes checks in periodically to make sure
things are running smoothly.
GLOBE WATeR: Students work
in small groups that rotate through the grade
level. Each week at a designated time a small
group of students take monitoring tools out to
the school pond. With assistance from Learning
Landscapes staff students measure water and air
temperature and perform several chemical water
tests. Students record their weekly data and are
responsible for training the next group to
perform the monitoring tasks.
