This is a problem-based learning activity in which students pretend they are famous musicians planning a world tour. All performances will be in outdoor amphitheaters. The locations that have been booked so far are: Chile, Venezuela, Greenland and Maine (USA), but no dates have been secured. The students will have to predict the best times to perform in these areas. Detailed procedures, materials, ... Full description.

In this lesson plan students observe a teacher-directed demonstration that provides a conceptual understanding of latent heat. A reusable handwarmer that uses a solution of sodium acetate is used to illustrate phase changes and the release of energy and latent heat. Full description.

This Earth Exploration Toolbook chapter guides users through the process of locating and graphing data that has been collected by students who participate in the GLOBE Program. Users access the online GLOBE graphing tool and produce a graph comparing four Earth system variables over two complete years. Data include Maximum Air Temperature, Soil Moisture (at depths of both 10 cm and 90 cm), and Rainfall ... Full description.
