HS-PS4-5: Communicate technical information about devices that transmit and capture information and energy.
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.*

electricity; medical imaging; and communications technology.]
This performance expectation has students communicating technical information about two devices using varying formats (textual, graphical, oral and mathematical are listed in NGSS evidence statements. I'm having my students research two devices (one that relies on the photoelectric effect, a second that depends on wave properties) and then create a screencast video using text, images and narration to teach their classmates about the device they selected.
Devices that depend on the Photoelectric Effect:
- Photovoltaic cells (solar panels)
- Photocopiers
- Charge coupled device (CCD) used in digital camera
- Photocells
- Photomultipliers
- Gold-leaf electroscope
- Image intensifier (night vision goggles)
