Developed by the Right Question Institute, the Question Formulation Technique, or QFT, is a structured method for generating and improving questions. It distills sophisticated forms of divergent, convergent, and metacognitive thinking into a deceptively simple, accessible, and reproducible technique.

The steps of the QFT are designed to stimulate three types of thinking: divergent thinking, convergent thinking, and metacognitive thinking. Each step of the process can be a learning experience on its own. But the real power of the QFT comes when all steps — and all three thinking abilities — work together.

Elementary GLOBE

Elementary GLOBE's modules introduce students in grades K-4 to the various aspects of Earth system science. Using a storybook approach, the modules utilize a science-based, fictional narrative to engage students in the scientific method. The modules also challenge them to extend their lessons into the natural world through observation and measurement of their surrounding environment.
Each module of Elementary GLOBE includes:

A science-based, fictional storybook in which kids explore an aspect of the Earth system using their scientific skills.

Three learning activities that further explore the lesson content and help students develop sound science and engineering approaches to complex problems.

A glossary and teacher's notes that provide educators with the necessary background information to further assist their students with each module.

The Teacher Implementation Guide

The Implementation Guide includes:

An overview of Elementary GLOBE

The connections the curriculum makes to literacy and other areas of the elementary curriculum

The usage of science journals

Scientific inquiry in the elementary curriculum

Standards alignment

The goal of GLOBE Mission Mosquito is to create an organized citizen science community - primarily through formal education, with targeted outreach to informal education - that will conduct and report local observations using the GLOBE Observer Mosquito Habitat Mapper ( GO MHM). Using the mobile app, citizen scientists identify potential breeding sites for mosquitoes, sample and count mosquito larvae, and with optional equipment, examine and photograph a specimen to identify its genus.

Campaign outreach events will connect the GLOBE Observer citizen science community with NASA scientists who want to work in partnership with citizen scientists and use GO MHM data. NASA scientists are interested in understanding changing weather patterns, extreme weather events, insect ecology and human behavior affect the range, frequency and distribution of mosquito vectors that can potentially cause disease.

The Mission Mosquito Campaign will be driven by a series of scientific questions. Three basic questions initiate the campaign:

Identify baseline (2018-2021) for range and distribution of vectors such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.

Identify seasonality of local mosquito vectors: first sighting, last sighting, period of greatest number of observations

Quantify change in mosquito frequency and distribution at local, regional, national and global scales with specific reference to prevailing environmental parameters, such as precipitation, land cover, surface temperature, and soil moisture.

An ultimate goal of Mission Mosquito is to facilitate scientific research on mosquito vectors of disease, including research by students and scientists (citizen and professional).
