This
chapter
from
the
Earth
Exploration
Toolbook
guides
users
through
the
process
of
locating
and
graphing
Web-based
environmental
data
that
has
been
collected
by
students
who
participate
in
the
Global
Learning
and
Observations
to
Benefit
the
Environment
(GLOBE)
program.
Basic
concepts
in
Earth
system
science
are
explored
as
students
investigate
a
specific
case
study.

to
help
students
gain
knowledge
in
using
the

This lesson is designed to help students gain knowledge in graphing a microset of data, then using the graphs to investigate the relationship between volcanic activity and the presence of atmospheric aerosols. The lesson provides detailed procedure, related links and sample graphs, follow-up questions and extensions, and Teacher Notes.

In this lesson, students will use the Live Access Server to access and use historical satellite data for the Costa Rican (Central American) region. Students will examine monthly precipitation averages over three years to look for seasonal patterns. Detailed Procedure and Materials, Vocabulary linked to an On-line glossary, and Teacher Notes are provided.
