How does the temperature and salinity of a tide pool compare to that of the nearby ocean water? These were just two of the questions posed to about 250 students from 52 countries who gathered in Cape Town, South Africa, this summer for the GLOBE Learning Expedition (GLE).

Hot House	Clarence Bakken, a retired physics teacher from California, explored insulating capabilities of different wall materials. Clarence used an Infrared Thermometer (order code IRT-BTA, $159) to study the rate at which heat is transferred through the walls in a model house. He used a simple cube that students built out of wood, glass, or plastic. During the activity, students investigate basic concepts in heat transfer. Download this sample activity (105 KB PDF) ...
