Today, the Jr. Robot Rampagers worked hard on their poster board. The team drew pictures for the board to show the different animals in the dessert. They also stated that they focused on cold desserts and collected the information from the Great Basin Desert for their graphs.
Today the Jr. Robot Rampagers worked on naming their motorized machine. The team chose Water Driller Recycler. The name was a combination of two names, Water Driller and Water Recycler.
The team made graphs to show the rainfall precipitation as well as the max and min temperatures of the desert. The graphs will be put on the poster board.
The Jr. Robot Rampagers learned how to make some of the information that was collected into a better format so it would be easier to understand. They had monthly temperatures of the Great Basin in parts of Nevada, and they also had monthly amounts of precipitation in the same area. A graph of the amount of snowfall in the Great Basin was also made easier to understand. From that graph, the team noticed that about the same time they get their heaviest snowfall (about 4 inches max) we get ours, January. 
Today the team started on their posterboard. They are going to show both cold and hot deserts. They also have an area that they are researching, The Great Basin Desert. The Great Basin is considered a cold desert because most of its winter precipitation is snow..jpg){kind=small}
