MS-PS4-3 Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

Students who demonstrate understanding can: Integrate qualitative scientific and technical information to support the claim that digitized signals (sent as wave pulses) are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information.*
Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on a basic understanding that waves can be used for communication purposes. Examples could include using fiber optic cable to transmit light pulses, radio wave pulses in wifi devices, and conversion of stored binary patterns to make sound or text on a computer screen.
Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include binary counting. Assessment does not include the specific mechanism of any given device.

Crosscutting Concepts

Science & Engineering Practices 

Disciplinary Core Ideas 

Structure and Function:

  • Structures can be designed to serve particular functions.

Obtaining, Evaluating, and  Communicating Information:

  • Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information in 6-8 builds on K-5 and progresses to evaluating the merit and validity of ideas and methods.
  • Integrate qualitative scientific and technical information in written text with that contained in media and visual displays to clarify claims and findings. 

Information Technologies and Instrumentation:

  • Digitized signals (sent as wave pulses) are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information.
