Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment is a worldwide network of students, teachers, and scientists working together to study and understand the earth's environment. Over a million primary and secondary students in more than 10,000 schools have taken part in the program; there are more than 16,000 GLOBE trained teachers worldwide! Currently 96 countries participate in GLOBE.
GLOBE students make environmental observations at or near their schools and report their data through the Internet. Scientists use GLOBE data in their research and provide feedback to the students to enrich their science education. Global images based on GLOBE student data are displayed on the World Wide Web, enabling students and other visitors to use the data.
The Office of Space Science Education at the Space Science and Engineering Center is the GLOBE Partner in Wisconsin. Our staff of certified GLOBE trainers put on workshops in collaboration with GLOBE headquarters, however, educators must still register on-line for any given workshop.

"Introduction to GLOBE and Basic Soils Protocols"A group of eight agriculture teachers from the Wisconsin Association of Vocational Agriculture Instructors summer conference participated in a one-day workshop highlighting the GLOBE Program and covered the basic soils Protocols.
It was jointly sponsored by the GLOBE Program and the Office of Space Science Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Space Science Education Center.The middle and high school teachers were very knowledgable about soils and enthusiastic about the program. They were quite impressed with the depth of material covered particularly in the soils sections.
They enjoyed the challenge of predicting which soil column would allow water to pass through the quickest and in the end, all were stumped.
