GLOBE TRAINING WORKSHOP
September 8 & 9, 2006
For teachers on Basic Atmospheric Measurements
Presented by the FHSU Science and Mathematics Education Center

What is The GLOBE Program?
GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) is a worldwide hands-on, primary and secondary school-based education and science program.
For Students, GLOBE provides the opportunity to learn by:
· Taking scientifically valid measurements in the fields of atmosphere, hydrology, soils, and land cover/phenology - depending upon their local curricula
· Publishing their research projects based on GLOBE data and protocols
· Collaborating with scientists and other GLOBE students around the world
For Teachers, GLOBE provides assistance through:
· Teacher's Guide, "how-to" videos, and other materials
· Continuing support from a Help Desk, scientists, and partners
· Contact with other teachers, students, and scientists worldwide.
What is the Value of GLOBE?
“GLOBE is the quintessentially ideal program for involving kids in science," - Nobel laureate Dr. Leon Lederman.
GLOBE helps teachers and students achieve state and local education goals and standards.
GLOBE improves student understanding of science because it involves them in performing real science - taking measurements, analyzing data, and participating in research in collaboration with scientists.
