(Present problem
requiring use of GLOBE data archives)
The students in
your classroom are GLOBEpals with students at another school.
You like to print out the photographs taken from your GLOBEpal
school. It helps you imagine what is happening at their school
so that you can write more interesting notes to them. In this
activity you will look at the study site photographs made
by your GLOBEpals.
1. (Take measurements:
Make appropriate observations given data from GLOBE archives)
AND (Analyze and compare: identify similarities and differences)
Look at the photo labeled April 3rd . Does this picture look
similar or different to what happens at your school in early
April? Write your answer in Table 1.
Table
1: Comparing Our School and the School in the Photo

2)
(Analyze and compare: Identify similarities and differences)
Is the study site in the photo more similar to your
school, or more different than your school? How did you
decide?
3)
(Take measurements: Make appropriate observations given data
from GLOBE archives) & (Analyze and compare: identify
similarities and differences)
Now
look at the photograph labeled April 3rd and the photograph
that was taken on May 14th.

Things
that are the same about the study site on April 3rd
and May 14th

4)
(Interpret GLOBE data: infer patterns and trends)
Describe two or more things that you predict will look different
between the photograph from May 23rd and a photograph that
would be taken three weeks later on June 4th.
5)
(Summarize Data & Communicate Findings: Summarize and
report findings) Write a GLOBEmail to your GLOBEpals.
Write to them about what they will be doing on June 4th
and how that will be the same or different from what you
will be doing on that day. Draw a picture that shows your
prediction of what their GLOBE school site will look like
on June 4th .
