- Watershed Project - Data sharing - GLOBE Watershed Dynamics Project will enable students to investigate their own watershed in order to understand the flow of water through the watershed, how human activities within the watershed both depend on and impact its hydrology, and how land use changes can affect the plant and animal communities in the watershed.
This project will offer GLOBE students the opportunity to conduct science investigations on local and regional watersheds using real-time and historical scientific data from the dataset being constructed by the Consortium of Universities for Advancement of Hydrologic Science (CUAHSI).

- Practical applications of science in local community - These virtual fieldtrips will involve 8-10 students, equipped with computers and video cameras, traveling to a local scientific facility and conducting a live webcast tour for their classmates back at school. Viewing the webcast on a projector, the students in the classroom will have the opportunity to interact with the traveling group, ask questions of any expert scientist, view equipment and processes, and even assist in data and sample collection. Seven different field trips will cover topics including geology, astronomy, hydroelectric power and water quality, each field trip employing a different group of students.

- Boil, Boil, Toil and Trouble project - In the Boil, Boil, Toil and Trouble project, sponsored by the Center for Improved Engineering and Science Education (CIESE), students collect, share, and analyze data that can be used to determine what factors, if any, impact the boiling point of water. Participating schools submit their data online where it becomes part of a database that students must use to draw their conclusions. This project allows students to actively participate in the process of scientific inquiry. While the project shows how data can be used to answer questions, it also demonstrates that real data is not always perfect or tidy and that large quantities of seemingly disorganized data can be organized in ways that make it meaningful. Finally, participation in this project allows students to see the value in using data that comes from a variety of locations.
