Description
Struggling to create an NGSS 3-Dimensional assessment? This resource features an engaging assessment aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), integrating disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices. With a focus on depth of understanding, critical thinking, and application of knowledge, this assessment empowers students to master key concepts on the differences between Analog and Digital signals, while preparing them for real-world challenges. AND IT INCLUDES A SPANISH VERSION FOR YOUR ESL/ELL/NEWCOMERS!
What Students Do:
Reading: Disciplinary Core Idea (DCI): Digitized signals (sent as wave pulses) are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information. Describe specific features that make digital transmission of signals more reliable than analog transmission of signals (MS-PS4-3). Students read the story of two aspiring musicians facing a crucial decision: whether to record their latest track using the vintage charm of an analog device or the modern efficiency of a digital recorder. Seeking guidance, they turned to Mr. Johnson, a seasoned local musician. With a calm demeanor, Mr. Johnson explained the merits of digital superiority, where signals flow effortlessly as precise numerical values, contrasting with the shortcomings of analog signals, which are prone to interference and degradation.
Claim Evidence Reasoning: Science and Engineering Practice (SEP) Engaging in Argument from Evidence: The study of science and engineering should produce a sense of the process of argument necessary for advancing and defending a new idea or an explanation of a phenomenon and the norms for conducting such arguments. Students receive two claims from Mr. Johnson asserting the reliability of digital signals and two claims stating the inferiority of analog signals. Their task is to locate four pieces of evidence within the reading that support Mr. Johnson's claims. Students compile these pieces of evidence into a cohesive paragraph in the reasoning section, presenting a comprehensive argument bolstered by the evidence provided in the text.

-Analog Signals
-Digital Signals
-Digital converts sound into a series of numerical values, creating a precise digital representation of the audio.
-Digital signals are transmitted as wave pulses, and as a result are less prone to degradation, providing a cleaner and more accurate representation of the original sound.
-Because analog signals are imprinted directly onto the magnetic tape, it makes it more susceptible to interference.
-Analog signals are vulnerable to degradation over time, such as ripped tape, high temperatures, high humidity, and the presence of dust and corrosive elements in the air.

Includes the Following NGSS Standards:
PS4.C: Information Technologies and Instrumentation
Digitized information can be transmitted over long distances without significant degradation. High-tech devices, such as computers or cell phones, can receive and decode information—convert it from digitized form to voice—and vice versa.
(4-PS4-3)
Science and Engineering Practice (SEP) Engaging in Argument from Evidence:
The study of science and engineering should produce a sense of the process of argument necessary for advancing and defending a new idea or an explanation of a phenomenon and the norms for conducting such arguments.
Crosscutting Concept (CCC)
Structures can be designed to serve particular functions. (MS-PS4-3)
