This
activity
prepares
you
to
launch
an
investigation
of
the
relationship
between
precipitation
and
streamflow
for
a
local
watershed.
It
can
enrich
a
study
of
the
water
cycle.
Following
the
step-by-step
instructions
in
a
case
study
you
will
locate,
download,
format,
and
finally
graph
one
year
of
Web-based
data
for
these
two
variables.
The
graph
highlights
the
details
of
this
often
complex
precipitation-streamflow

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

The
Ramsar
Wetlands
Data
Gateway
is
a
database
containing
information
on
protected
international
wetlands.
In
this
activity,
users
search
the
database
to
find
a
wetland
that
they
are
interested
in
helping
to
protect.
Using
the
database
search
capabilities,
users
select
various
wetland
characteristics
and
generate
a

In
this
activity,
users
learn
about
the
variables
that
influence
the
abundance
of
phytoplankton,
the
microscopic
plants
that
form
the
base
of
the
marine
food
chain.
Users
apply
this
knowledge
to
make
predictions
about
the
timing
of
the
spring
phytoplankton
bloom
in
the
Gulf
of
Maine.
They
obtain
and
graph
data
from
buoy
monitoring
stations
and
interpret
them
to
make
their
