[HS.ETS.3.2] - Use a model to explain how information transmitted via digital and analog signals travels through the following media: electrical wire, optical fiber, air, and space. Analyze a communication problem and determine the best mode of delivery for the communication(s).

Predecessor Standards:

  • 6.PS.4.2
    Use diagrams and other models to show that both light rays and mechanical waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. Clarification Statements: Materials may include solids, liquids, and gases. Mechanical waves (including sound) need a material (medium) through which they are transmitted. Examples of models could include drawings, simulations, and written descriptions. State Assessment Boundary: State assessment will be limited to qualitative applications.
  • 6.PS.4.3
    Present qualitative scientific and technical information to support the claim that digitized signals (sent as wave pulses representing 0s and 1s) can be used to encode and transmit information. State Assessment Boundary: Binary counting or the specific mechanism of any given device are not expected in state assessment.
  • 7.ETS.3.1
    Explain the function of a communication system and the role of its components, including a source, encoder, transmitter, receiver, decoder, and storage.

Successor Standards:

No Successor Standards found.

Same Level Standards:

  • RCA-ST.9-10.7
    Translate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text into visual form (e.g., a table or chart) and translate information expressed visually or mathematically (e.g., in an equation) into words.
  • HS.ETS.3.1
    Model a technological system in which the output of one subsystem becomes the input to other subsystems.
