About This Lesson
Nearly 40 years ago, two Voyager spacecraft left our planet carrying gold-plated records of information about Earth’s organisms and cultures. This activity challenges your students to craft a contemporary Golden Record of sounds, images, and information portraying the diversity of life and culture on Earth.
This lesson is short but was extremely informative not only as a science education lesson but also as an social science lesson about humans feeling the need to communicate with other beings.
