Under the leadership of the Laredo Independent School District's Project TEAMS, recently trained GLOBE teachers and incoming sixth-graders from all the area's elementary schools have been fine- tuning their skills in making atmosphere, soil, and hydrology measurements. A local television weather crew was really impressed with the students' scientific skills and filmed the kids in action!
"We wanted to give our teachers some experience with GLOBE, giving them a chance
to practice and perfect their protocols prior to the new school year," says Adriana
Lombrana, the Project TEAMS coordinator. "The feedback from both the kids and
teachers has been excellent. In fact, the science teachers who ran this camp are
hoping to present their GLOBE activities at the statewide Conference for the
Advancement of Science Teachers."
"We've had other science camps in the past," Ms. Lombrana added, "but the kids said they liked GLOBE the best."
