This tutorial provides detailed information about the importance of ground truth measurements for investigative science and various cloud properties. CERES measurements contribute to our understanding of the interaction between clouds and solar energy, the most significant factor controlling our climate. Students? Cloud Observations On-Line (S'COOL) is a K-12 educational outreach effort of Clouds ... Full description.

This brochure describes and promotes the S'COOL program. S'COOL, the Students' Cloud Observations On Line, is a component of NASA's Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) project. Participants make ground truth measurements for the CERES experiment to compare with satellite data for the purpose of improving the satellite results. Full description.

In this story, the GLOBE Kids are extremely excited to perform a play for the rest of the school, demonstrating what they have learned about the Earth and all of its parts. They have a glitch when they can?t decide which Earth component is the most important, but end up learning a lot about the Earth, sun, water, air, soil, and living things ? and the way these components are interconnected.
