Mechanism

Follow the mechanism step by step and distinguish what causes the change from what is merely observed.

This extension applies that lens specifically to How Networks Work.

How Networks Work

A network connects devices so they can exchange data. Data is split into packets and forwarded across local links and routers to an addressed destination.

Core checkpoint: The internet is a network of networks, not a single cloud computer.

Grade 7 Computational Thinking and Privacy — Mechanism: Which statement best captures the core checkpoint for How Networks Work?

The internet is a network of networks, not a single cloud computer.
