Participants in this hands-on workshop will design, build and test prototypes of information communication systems that incorporate electricity and waves. This Smithsonian Science Education Center lesson is from the new middle school program: MYGEN Edition of Electricity, Waves and Information Transfer. The unit was designed explicitly for the topic arrangement and three dimensional learning approach of the Next Generation Science Standards. Participants will be provided with the concept storyline which lays out the progression of learning and understandings that students will experience in this unit and additional resources.
