Starting from the 5th grade room, go as far as Spirit traveled in one day.
This is a long way.
The Mars rovers travel around and send back data to earth.
The little rovers we have at Davis Creek Elementary and at Marshall University can gather data, also.
We could watch the data from here but when the sensor readings are even this far away it is hard.
With a data logging Investigator program,
we can run the program and then upload the data to the computer and
see the graph

She went on a quest for dark and light places.
Not only can we run programs at LEGO
CITY at http://lego.marshall.edu
and see them run on http://legocamera.marshall.edu
We can also send programs that return data.
