Term 3, Week 10 – 14/09 Writing

Learning Goal:  I can code using Morse Code.

 

First,  we are going to look at what Morse Code is.

For a long time, the main way to send a message over long distances was for someone to carry it from one place to another. Then in 1837, Samuel Morse developed the telegraph, this wire allowed someone to send a burst of electricity over long distances quickly.

Problem was each burst of electricity simply made the one same sound.

Samuel Morse then realised if you controlled the bursts of electricity you could communicate. So using short bursts (dots) and long bursts (dashes) you could spell out the words for your message. While this might seem to take a long time this meant written messages that had taken days or even weeks to deliver were now sent in minutes!

Morse code can also be sent in other ways. While it can be sent as a sound, it can also be sent using a flashing light. Some mine rescuers have pulled on a rope to send a Morse code: quick pull for dots and long pulls for dashes.

In many ways, Morse code is the first digital code.

 

This is what Morse’s code looks like:

 

Morse also added:

Beginning of message (__ . __. __)

Error (. . . . . . . . . .)

End of the message (. __ . __ .)

Full stop (. __ . __ . __)

Comma (__ __ . . __ __)

Question (. . __ __ . .)

 

Next, decipher the message below. A smiley face is a dot while a heart is a dash and the / means a new letter.

 

Then, come up with your own message to send to your teacher. Be creative, for example, you could use different coloured Lego blocks (see example below), beads or simply draw dots and dashes.

Finally, after you’ve uploaded your writing task for today do 20 minutes of touch typing
