Website from Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program with comprehensive learning and field study resources on the biosphere in which students use materials and data to make observations and learn about...

Students investigate the Biology topic of ecosystems. The marine ecosystem tutorial consists of definitions, pictures, and examples of different ocean-benthic biomes.

Scholars explore concepts in Biology. The tutorial consists of definitions, examples, and pictures about the four kingdoms of Eucaryotes.

Scholars explore the Earth science topic of the Earth's basic structure. The tutorial consists of definitions and pictures about the Earth's crust.

The earth has four integrated subsystems that depend on one another. Study how the biosphere and hydrosphere interact by viewing videos based on data collected by NASA. This data shows the correlation between rainfall amounts...

Everything on our planet is linked by a giant recycling system called the biogeochemical cycle. How our planet recycles and reuses everything we need to support life is explained by making a miniature biosphere in this lab. You will also...

The carbon cycle is one of the most important cycles. It is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth. This cycle is important because it...

In this instructional activity, students will learn about the different levels in the hierarchy of ecology and explain the relationships: organism, population, community, ecosystem, biome, and biosphere. They will also discover why...

Find out about Vladimir Vernadsky, considered one of the founders of geochemistry, biogeochemistry, and of radiogeology, and most noted for his 1926 book The Biosphere in which he inadvertently worked to popularize that term.

Young scholars explore the biosphere and its associated environments and ecosystems in the context of creating a model ecosystem, learning along the way about the animals and resources. Students investigate different types of ecosystems,...

Students learn about population density within environments and ecosystems. They determine the density of a population and think about why population density and distribution information is useful to engineers for city planning and...

An overview of content about Earth and its atmosphere. The module was developed for middle school science teachers to provide background information for teaching the curriculum.

Abiotic components are the nonliving components of the biosphere. Chemical and geological factors, such as rocks and minerals, and physical factors, such as temperature and weather, are referred to as abiotic components.

Using a surficial features map, students see the connections between those features and other Earth systems. They will consider the interactions of the geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere.

Explains the importance of systems of organization in biology and describes the thirteen levels of organization, from the atom up to the biosphere.

Describes the levels of organization in biology, from the subatomic particle up to the biosphere.

Make Earth's climate livable by adding the right amount of air, water, and clouds to its surface and atmosphere.

Scholars explore the Biology concept of microorganisms. The tutorial consists of definitions, examples, and pictures about protozoa.
