Quote:
"The Challenge was my first 'real' experience as a team leader, real in the sense that it actually resembled the leadership I have done later in the 'real' world. Looking back, I did a number of things poorly, especially relating to time management. However the fact that I was able to lead a team to victory in the challenge helped give me confidence to continue taking on leadership roles and building my technical leadership skills to where they are today." - Thomas D., Eldorado High, 2004.

NM’s Tree killer the Bark Beetle

Team: 1004

School: Picacho Mid

Area of Science: Biology

Proposal: Question: How much rain does it take to stop the devastation from the bark beetles?

The bark beetle has been known the kill trees. The bark beetle makes more damage every year because the rain fall has not been coming lately. This makes bigger and longer drought also making the trees weaker and weaker.

Approach:: Manipulate the moisture to determine the variance that cause the Bark Beetle to move from decomposing trees to live trees.
