Global Classroom Project: Students Measuring Rainfall
The Global Classroom Project is an education-oriented project that teaches students about the water cycle and about making and recording observations:
The Global Classroom Project is a unique, global, research project, where children will become scientist during 10 days. 300 schools from countries such as USA, China, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, South America, Bolivia, Egypt, Spain, Germany, Australia, Great Britain, Iceland, Denmark and Sweden will be invited to participate in one of the world’s largest scientific projects for children. In 10 days from the 28. September to the 7. October 2009, all the children’s homes will be transformed to scientific measuring stations. We are going to measure the rainfall in more than a thousand different places around the world. The children should measure the amount of rain every day with the same discipline as if they were scientists and afterwards they should put their results up on the project’s web page. Here it will be possible for the children to compare their results with the other children – both with the children that they go to school with and the children from the schools around the world.
I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to post this before the observations were being made for this round.
This project is managed by Danfoss Universe, a science theme park in Denmark.
