Two fifth grade science classes will use GLOBE protocols and grant equipment to investigate the urban heat island effect. Students will analyze their data and do research projects. This will initiate GLOBE implementation at the school.
ABOUT YLACES
Youth Learning as Citizen Environmental Scientists assists and rewards the implementation of inquiry-based, experiential science education where students do science and contribute to the understanding of our environment through recognition and financial reward programs.
Grants range from equipment and supplies for taking environmental measurements to recognition and support for students presenting their research projects and working for pervasive inclusion of student research projects in science teaching.
