Title: Lakeview Elementary School GLOBE Program


1
Lakeview Elementary School GLOBE Program
  • Lakeview Elementary School
  • Phoenix, Arizona
  • Latitude 33 deg 26.30 min North
  • Longitude 112 deg 4.4 min West
  • Elevation 372 m
  • Ms. Stacia Deering, GLOBE teacher, works with
    Project Potential (gifted) students from
    kindergarten to sixth grade. Lakeview students
    have been collecting data since January of 1996.
    The GLOBE Program gives students the opportunity
    to demonstrate extraordinary skills that may not
    be apparent in a regular classroom setting. It
    fosters independence, integrity, and curiosity
    about our environment.

Our GLOBE Site
  • Our GLOBE site is in a fenced area next to the
    school. It has a well occasionally used to fill
    an artificial lake. The site has been mostly
    undisturbed for 20 years and is left natural.
    Our hydrology site is an artificial lake near the
    school.

Ms. Deerings 5th Grade students dig
soil moisture monitor holes and soil horizon
pits. November, 1997.

Effects of El Nino

El Nino and the Sonoran Desert
  • El Nino rainfall has transformed our desert with
    wildflowers, including poppies, lupine, owls
