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 MissionTo 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 ScienceGLOBE Students conduct inquiry projects following
scientific method
Every GLOBE school has at least oneGLOBE-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 ResearchStudents develop own
research questionsUse 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 World110+ GLOBE Partner Countries
• GLOBE Partner Countries• Implemented through
bilateral agreements
• Recruit, train, mentor GLOBE teachers
• Help connect scientists to GLOBE community
