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.
Clarification statement: Emphasis is on a basic understanding that waves can be used for communication purposes. Examples could include using fiber optic cable to transmit light pulses, radio wave pulses in wifi devices, and conversion of stored binary patterns to make sound or text on a computer screen.
Assessment boundary: Assessment does not include binary counting. Assessment does not include the specific mechanism of any given device.
Performance Level Descriptions
PLDs communicate the knowledge and skills expected of students to demonstrate proficiency in each Learning Standard. NYS assessments classify student performance into one of four levels.
Resources
Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of MS-PS4-3.

Assessment
What assessment of MS-PS4-3 might look like on a NY state exam.

NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation MS-PS4-3 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
- Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information
- Integrate qualitative scientific and technical information in written text with that contained in media and visual displays to clarify claims and findings.
- PS4.C: Information Technologies and Instrumentation
- Digitized signals (sent as wave pulses) are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information.
- Structure and Function
- Structures can be designed to serve particular functions by taking into account properties of different materials, and how materials can be shaped and used.
