» - » You must have a project design form signed by your science teacher before you begin your project. The project design form and this form must be returned with your project. Failure to return both forms will result in a penalty of 5%. If you begin your project before obtaining your science teacher's signature on the project design form, your project may be disqualified. » - » Check the TARGET GRADE (most likely your maximum grade) at the top of the page. » - » You may not use AC electricity to power your project. Only DC electricity of less than 5 amperes & 15 volts is permitted. » - » You may not copy another student's design for your project (except for bridges & towers). Yours must be significantly different. » - » You may not do the same project twice without permission from your science teacher. » - » In order to earn “bonus points” and extra credit, your project must be handed in by the due date, and must earn at least 96 %. » - » Projects handed in more than 4 days late will not be presented or tested in class. » - » You must complete a project design form and get it signed by your teacher before you begin your project. |
| OBJECTIVE- The objective of this project is to learn to recognize the International Morse Code sounds well enough to carry on meaningful communications using only the Morse Code. |
| PROJECT GUIDELINES
NOTE: You must complete Phase I and Phase II or the Morse Code Study project before you will be allowed to do this project. {You must be able to recognize the sound patterns for all 26 letters and all 10 numerals in International Morse Code. See Morse Code Study.) 1. Read the INDEPENDENT PROJECT GENERAL GUIDELINES first. 2. Complete a project design form and get it signed by your science teacher. 3. Practice "copying" morse code until you can write out a message without many mistakes. 4. Take a sound test of a short message and score at least 9 correct on the 20 questions that are asked about the message: 9 correct answers: 60 pts (D) 15 correct answers: 110 pts (A+) 10 correct answers: 70 pts (C-) 16 correct answers: 120 pts (A+) 12 correct answers: 80 pts (B-) 17 correct answers: 130 pts (A+) 13 correct answers: 90 pts (B+) 18 correct answers: 140 pts (A+) 14 correct answers: 100 pts (A) 19 correct answers: 150 pts (A+) 20 correct answers: 160 pts (A+) 5. You will not be allowed to use the sound chart or notes on the test. |
