Waves Transmit

Information
Digital vs Analog Signals

How do we use waves to make our lives

better?
Okay...this video is for teachers, but Mr.
Anderson is SO cool, that students should
watch too!

But HOW do waves transmit information?

What do ANALOG and DIGITAL mean?

Difference Between Analog and Digital

Video #2: Analog vs. Digital

**Dont panic**
Some of what he is going to say sounds really
complicated. If youre into electronics it might
be super interesting to you. Dont worry about
all the numbers and acronyms that he throws
out...just focus on his explanation of the words
ANALOG and DIGITAL.

Activity: Analog v. Digital Noise

Compare the effects of
noise on analog and
digital signals.

Video #3: A little more about how

waves transmit information...
This narrator is going to use a lot of words that
you already know. Listen for terms like
amplitude, frequency, sound waves, and
electromagnetic waves.

So...
By changing the amplitude or the frequency of
a wave, the transmitter can send a code of
ones and zeros that can be read by the
receiver.
So which is better? Analog or Digital?
