Alignment to NGSS Standards
NGSS Standard MS-PS4-3 - Waves and their Applications
Integrate qualitative scientific and technical information to support the claim that digitized signals are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information than analog signals.
NGSS Standard HS-PS4-2 - Waves and their Applications
Evaluate questions about the advantages of using digital transmission and storage of information.
Real Data, Not Simulations
Every activity involves real-world data collection of physical phenomenon so your students can learn hands-on.
Backed by Research
Lessons were developed in projects with the Department of Education Institute of Educational Sciences and the National Science Foundation SBIR program
