SCIENCE Moving Information
PROBES

Caleb and his friends wondered how information is moved from

one computer to another. They each had different ideas. This is what
they said:

Caleb: I think the information travels as tiny bits of matter.

Suki: I think the information travels as waves.
Rob: I think the information travels as rays.
Pita: I think the information travels as electricity.
Jean: I think the information travels as sound.

Who do you think has the best idea?

Explain your thinking.
