How to Teach GLOBE Weather During At-Home Learning
Climate change research involves numerous disciplines of Earth system science as well as technology, engineering, and programming. To have a complete picture of how the climate changes we rely on direct measurements, proxy data, and computer modeling.
Resource Type: Information
A dark funnel of cloud extends below a storm. If it reaches the ground, it’s a tornado.
Resource Type: Information
When a front passes over an area, it means a change in the weather. Many fronts cause weather events such as rain, thunderstorms, gusty winds and tornadoes.
Resource Type: Information
Students analyze and interpret data on a map of floodplains to assess risk of flooding inform decision-making that will mitigate the effects of flooding.
Resource Type: Activities
Using language arts, math, and measurement skills, elementary students explore rainfall data and learn how to measure precipitation through an interactive story.
Resource Type: Activities
The atmosphere stretches far above Earth's surface, all the way to the limits of space. How do we study the atmosphere and what is happening within it near the ground, at different altitudes above our heads, and over both land and ocean?
Students examine "pollen" in simulated lake bottom sediment core samples to infer past climate in the vicinity of the lake.
What kind of technology did scientists use long ago to measure the atmosphere? Discover the lengths people went to in order to explore the atmosphere.
Resource Type: Information
Students explore the relationship between weather and climate by graphing weather temperature data and comparing with climate averages.
