Activity: “Hello Over There”Objectives• Demonstrate with light beams how Amateur Radio satellite andrepeaters send and receive signals• Problem solve how a beam of light can be directed around a barrierActivityOverviewThis activity will allow students to simulate radio waves being transmittedand received using repeaters. Earth will be observed so students will understandwhy this method of communication is needed. In teams of four, studentswill problem solve to send a beam of light from one side of a barrier to theother. They will learn the path that light follows and how it reacts when asmooth, shiny surface (mirror) is placed in its path. Amateur Radio vocabularywill be introduced. Students will complete a Data Collection Sheet detailingmethods used to solve a problem. Older students will predict where the lightwaves will be positioned on the other side of the barrier.MaterialsFor each team of 4:• 1 flashlight• 1 mirror• 1 chair or desk to act asbarrier• 1 piece of white paper• Globe or map of Earth• Data Collection SheetScienceStandards• Science as Inquiry• Science and Technology• Abilities of Technological DesignTechnologyStandards• Technological Knowledge– Technological Concepts and Principles• Technological Processes– Utilizing and Managing Technological Systems• Technological Contexts– Informational TechnologyMathematicsStandards• Problem Solving• Communication• Geometric and Spatial RelationsTimeframe: 30–45 minutesAmateur Radio in Space—A Teacher’s Guide With Activities in Science, Mathematics, and Technology 20
