Abstract
The need for accurate data is universal. For scientific use of data collected by students, high accuracy is a prerequisite. Valid student-collected data for scientific purposes is of great benefit, both to the student who experiences science firsthand and to scientists who then have a larger database of information. Therefore, projects and techniques that provide for validating student data are extremely useful. Such a technique was applied in a program called GLOBE.
