MudWatt Explorer vs GLOBE Observer

MudWatt Explorer brings your MudWatt to life! Track your power and bacteria population and learn what it's like to be bacteria in this muddy world! Details below! The app detects the power of your MudWatt by reading how fast the MudWatt's light is blinking. It also estimates your bacteria population based on that power measurement and gives you a graphical representation of that population. Just line up the blinking light inside the target and voilà! Your power measurements are recorded and graphed. You can even email your data to yourself for further analysis, or to your friends, parents, or teachers. The app also features a fun and educational comic of a growing community of electric bacteria trying to survive in this crazy muddy world. Unlock new chapters of the comic by reaching new power and microbe population levels with your MudWatt! Feature Summary: - Measure and track your MudWatt's power and bacteria population - Record, view, and share your MudWatt's power data - Learn about the muddy world of microbes with an entertaining illustrated story - Unlock new chapters of the story as your MudWatt's power grows

The GLOBE Observer app enables you to make observations of your environment. GLOBE Observer is the app of the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program. The GLOBE Program is an international science and education program that provides students and people of all ages worldwide with the opportunity to participate in data collection and the scientific process, and contribute meaningfully to our understanding of the Earth system and global environment. By using the GLOBE Observer app, you contribute scientific data to your community, students and scientists worldwide, including researchers at NASA, NOAA, and other science research institutions. GLOBE Observer allows all users to contribute observations of clouds, mosquito habitats, land cover, and trees. Trained and certified users can also use the app to submit additional environmental measurements from all GLOBE protocols. GLOBE Clouds allows observers to make regular observations of Earth’s cloud cover and compare them to satellite observations. With GLOBE Mosquito Habitat Mapper, users locate mosquito habitats, observe and identify mosquito larvae, and reduce the potential threat of mosquito borne disease. GLOBE Land Cover is designed to allow users to document what is on the land (trees, grass, buildings, etc.). GLOBE Trees asks users to estimate a tree’s height by taking pictures of trees with their device and answering a few questions. Additional capabilities may be added.
