      GLOBE Observer Land Cover

      GLOBE Observer Land Cover

      GLOBE Observer Land Cover is a citizen science app that verifies and contributes to satellite imagery. GLOBE Observer Land Cover helps scientists improve the different kinds of maps they make with satellite imagery. On the most detailed satellite-based maps, each pixel is about 330 feet by 330 feet. This means small areas such as city…

      Learning about Plate Tectonics

      Learning about Plate Tectonics

        This week is all about plate tectonics, the foundation of both modern geology and the surface of our planet! The idea of plate tectonics was a long time coming but in the late twentieth century it became clear that every part of geology and our world’s ecology was tied, at least partly, to the…

      Learning about Sound

      BOOM! BONG! KNOCK! RING! Sounds are everywhere. Some sounds are loud, some are quiet, some are pleasant, and some are irritating or even dangerous. This week students will learn how to measure sound using a smart phone app, how different materials affect those measurements, how music produces pleasant sounds by creating perfect intervals, and how…

      Learning about Modeling

      Learning about Modeling

      Scientists use models to understand how systems, processes, and events might play out in the real world. Scientists might develop models to simplify real-life situations and gain greater control over selected variables. Other times, scientists may develop models to add complexity and simulate how systems change if variables change. Either way, models are handy tools…
