In this activity, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, students look at the Sun and the Milky Way in different wavelengths. They apply their understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum to astrophysical objects and look at why it is important to use the whole spectrum in astronomy. The images of the Sun are...

A Year Ten module from the Salters’ double award science course. Exercises on codes and signalling methods introduce ideas about communication. A study of the ear leads to sound communication systems such as radio and telephones. Lenses are studied and the formation of...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to the necessity of developing standards and protocols for communication.

It is intended that students will be able to:...

This activity, fom the Insttitution of Engineering and Technology (IET, allows students to look at a series of simple scenarios with a comment on the ‘rightness’ or ‘wrongness’ of the use of the technology. This is an introduction to ethical decision-making, as they are...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to look at some past events where better communications would have given a better outcome and to think about future development.

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), makes students aware that when they watch television, or use the phone, there is a huge, expensive infrastructure that needs to be paid for and maintained.

This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). It is based on two specially developed resources produced by SEP: the Optical Signal Transmission Set and the Analogue/Digital Transmission...
