• Locate your watershed in preperation for GLOBE hydrology activities Surf your watershed

With your students:

• Collect bucket of soil, mystery plants - bring to Bio2 to share with group so we can impress our students with diversity of these within the state.
• MUC the school yard or nearby environs
• Determine when solar noon is at your site
• Record daily air temperature within 1 hr of solar noon

With a computer:

• Download Multispec tutorial Link
• Practice downloading images and data, and importing into Multispec or a spreadsheet.
• Look at Sensor data at Biosphere 2 (a bit slow ...)

Be ready to discuss:

• Unresolved issues from first session
• Your schools preliminary implementation plan
• Share ideas for implementation/funding

Be ready to make a 5 min report/school:

• What investigations you would like to begin with
• What collaborations you would like to pursue (GLOBE, local, other)
• What kinds of sites you expect to develop (eg: school, pond, desert)
• Where you need the most help from the group over the next 8 months.
