Actual Project/Task
Students will do the following tasks during this unit:
- Make comparison standards for musical notes and some natural radio
sources using the TI-83 and CBL. This will be done in a collaborative
format so that groups make some of the standards and then share with
other groups. Screens of the various sources will be saved as
an "electronic" standards key. Will use CLEA's Radio Astronomy
Lab to collect natural sources of radio signals which will also be saved
as electronic standards.
- Analyze teacher-prepared "signals" for possible communication
or beacon type characteristics.
- Present findings to the rest of the class and a panel of "experts"
during an on-line "symposium", using NetMeeting, CuSeeme or
other type of videoconferencing software. Students will use evidence
collected to support or refute the possibility of data being a possible
SETI message. Project/Task
 |
The principle task of the students is to analyze radio signals
for evidence of Extra Terrestrial messages and use self-developed
standards to support or refute that possibility.
