Science Activities (GGSA) now on-line GLOBE trained
teachers of the deaf can sign up to join two on-line science collaborations
during the 2001-2002 school year.

GU-LCC GLOBE instructors have
developed the Fall Temperature and Daylight Study, in which
students will plot daily GLOBE temperature measurements on an attractive
wall poster in their classroom. Students will also figure out the
number of hours of daylight each day, and over the Fall months will look
for the relationship between temperature and daylight hours. Students
will share their results with other students to compare how temperature
and daylight changes happen at other locations around the USA.
A second activity, the Spring
Budburst Study,
will instruct teachers and
students on how to discover the exact date when tree buds burst in the
spring time. Student data will be reported both to the GLOBE
Program and to GU-LCC GLOBE for sharing with other deaf and hard of hearing
students. Student data will be used to explore the onset dates of
spring across the United States.
SIGN-UP for the Fall Activity
NOW!
All GLOBE trained teachers
of the deaf are invited to join these collaborations. Please send
email immediately to Mary Ellsworth (Mary.Ellsworth@Gallaudet.edu)
indicating your interest in joining in the activities with other programs
for the Deaf. We will send you a FREE wall poster for students
to record their data . Be sure to indicate a current mailing address.

Summer 2001
GLOBE Training Session at Gallaudet University.
The 6th annual GLOBE teacher training session was held July 31 to August

The GLOBE web site has links to GLOBE Partners in many states. Some
of the GLOBE Partners have state curricula matched to state science teaching
standards on-line. Using GLOBE to meet your state standards means
the GLOBE is not an 'add-on'... it is an essential part of your science
curriculum.
