Patterns of Communication in Animals and Humans

Scientist Kelli concludes a science unit on waves, energy, and information by exploring how dolphins and other animals use patterns to communicate. The video transitions to human communication, focusing on how images convey messages. An activity involving creating a grid to draw a heart is demonstrated, emphasizing the challenges of communication. The session ends with a reflection and a challenge to apply the learned concepts.
