Overview
The GLOBE Program offers a myriad of opportunities for students to engage in scientific sense-making while they conduct their own inquiry-based research using the data they collect and interaction with their peers and scientists who are applying their data to important research. This collaborative environment promotes a deeper understanding of scientific concepts and allows students to begin grappling with scientific ideas found in the world around them through manipulation of GLOBE data sets, and creation of maps, graphs and visualizations of their data using tools available on the GLOBE website as well as other data analysis tools.
What is Inquiry-Based Learning?
Inquiry-based instruction is a process by which the teacher facilitates student learning, rather than directing it. When students have a reason for learning, when they care about the investigation, content retention and understanding will be the outcome. Inquiry-based instruction can teach problem-solving and critical thinking skills, can teach students how to learn, and enhance student interest in the subject matter.
