| Lab Name | Waves in Internet Technology |
| Subject Area | Science and Computer Science |
| Grade | 9-12 |
| Topic | Waves, Internet. |
| Experiment Title | Using the internet to communicate wirelessly |
| Hardware | 2 Linux machines (ex laptops, raspberry pi) |
| Software | COSMOS Toolkit Framework. |
| Number of Sessions to teach the topic | 1 |
| Educational standards to be addressed |
New York State P-12 Science Learning Standards HS-PS4-5 Communicate technical information about how some technological devices use the principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy. Clarification Statement: Examples could include Doppler effect, solar cells capturing light and converting it to electricity; medical imaging; and communications technology. Assessment Boundary: Assessments are limited to qualitative information. Assessments do not include band theory. |
| COSMOS concepts to be used for the lab | Internet layers |
| K12 Educational Goals (How the educational goals are achieved through teaching using the experiment, how the topic is connected to the COSMOS concepts used) | Students will learn about the technology behind one of the most transformative infrastructure in history. Students will learn about how engineers design and build the software that makes the internet useful. |
| Short Description and Walk-through of the experiment | Students will step through layers of the internet and read about the layers' descriptions on a python program while teacher and students talk about how they think the internet works. |
| Testbed mapping of the experiment | Students run Nyquist experiments on test bed and describe how data travels from start to finish. |
Press START to observe the internet layers. In order to terminate the experiment press STOP. |
