Can you easily find information about Nevada's mountain ranges? 

Well, here is your task!!! 

You have two weeks to build, research and complete a PowerPoint presentation that covers the 5 major mountain ranges found in Nevada. You are to research information about:

1. The general location of the mountain range (Where in Nevada is the range? Northeast, Northwest, Central Nevada, Southern Nevada?) 

2. Elevations and names of it's highest peaks

3. What recreational activities can be done there (hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, ATV riding etc.) 

4. 1-3 Pictures of the mountain range

Your PowerPoint must be neatly done. All words must be spelled correctly and all names must be capitalized. Making your PowerPoint slides easy to read and attractive to look at will help the publishers of Travel Nevada to want to post your information on their site. 

Make sure to keep track of all your research on your NV Mountain ranges Research Form (Teams-Assignments) as you go.
