Students will be able to:ASK questions that arise from careful observation of phenomena, or unexpected results, to clarify and/or seek additional information.ASK questions that arise from examining models or a theory, to clarify and/or seek additional information and relationships.ASK questions to determine relationships, including quantitative relationships, between independent and dependent variables.

Project Summary
In this lesson students will learn about electromagnetic energy through a female engineer who invented frequency hopping that is used by so many devices we use daily. Students will explore and solve a real world problem by designing a device to block or build a stronger Wi-Fi signals. Each team will record their work with Flip.
Driving Questions / Scenario (what are we trying to solve or improve?)

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does Wi-Fi use?
What materials do you think will block a Wi-Fi signal? What materials do you think will let a Wi-Fi signal pass through?
