In
this
activity,
the
GLOBE
Kids
are
excited
to
perform
a
play
for
the
rest
of
the
school,
demonstrating
what
they
have
learned
about
the
Earth

all
of
its
parts.
They
hit
a

when
they
cannot
decide
which
Earth
component
is
the
most
important,

end
up
learning
a

about
the
Earth,
Sun,
water,
air,
soil,
and
living
things,
and
the
way
these
components
are
interconnected.
