What better way to learn science, than by doing science? This is exactly what the GLOBE program is designed for.
The GLOBE (the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) program provides teachers, students, and community members with scientifically verified, data collection protocols as well as training and networking assistance in order to provide these educators and budding scientists with meaningful, hands-on experiences with the scientific method (all while producing research quality data for use by an international community of researchers, including NASA!).
Berks Nature is an official GLOBE Partner, with the capacity to train educators of all types - from naturalists, to homeschool parents, to classroom teachers - in the GLOBE curriculum and its interdisciplinary, hands-on science activities.
In this special training for educators, Berks Nature's GLOBE-certified Mentor Trainer will:
- Introduce GLOBE, its set up, its protocols, and its plethora of online resources to help students and teachers collaborate and share their science.
- Train participants in using both the Elementary and Secondary Education GLOBE curriculum
- Provide hands on training with the GLOBE Observer App and website to collect research-quality data in the classroom.
By the end of the workshop, all participants will be certified to teach the GLOBE curriculum - this workshop can be used for Act 48 credits.
