An
exhibition on Communications is being opened
in the Bloomfield Science Museum . Among ist: Natural
Communications (non electronic); Codification; Transmission;
De-codification. Several educational activities are planned. From the
runner to the fax is aimed at grades 3 and 4th and deals
with issues like “how music flows through wires” and “is a
picture really worth a thousand words?”. The students will transmit
messages, will decodify messages and will document their impressions
for the benefit of later visitors. In the science encounter
“From smoke to the satellite”, aimed at grades 8-12th,
the students will deal with issues like “how to write the whole
Hebrew Encyclopaedia with only two symbols”,
“How the network is connected to a web site”, “Is our
world really becoming a global village?”.
The
students will transmit analog and digital data and will be connected
through video conferencing to other students in Israel and abroad. In
both encounters the students will experiment the central phases in the communication process and will produce a newspaper. |
