Today, we are approaching the NGSS Performance Expectation:
MS-PS4-3.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.
Here’s the link to the project we are doing: DIGITAL VS ANALOG PROJECT

VIDEO CLIPS
We started class with watching two short video clips on digital vs. analog signals and as a group, we collected facts regarding both signal transmissions to incorporate into an argumentative paragraph writing piece. There is also a video clip in the assignment page from Discovery that we watched together.
