These lessons are designed for use for learners in P4-7 (Yr 3-6, aged 7-12). Below you will find resources for 6 lessons using the micro:bit. Each of these contain:
- A full lesson plan with links to all the completed code and videos used in the lesson (I suggest reading this first).
- A video Introduction to the lesson from Mr Morrison.
- A Teacher PowerPoint which includes embedded videos for each lesson, code and question prompts.
- A learner’s links document including links to code (this could be posted in your Google Classroom/Team/Shared Drive for learners to access during the lesson).
- Relevant Worksheets for some lessons.
The suggested timing for these lessons is 45-60mins however they can be easily adapted by only including ‘Part 1’ or extended using the extension task. There is no expectation that you cover all lessons before completing the challenge, the resources for which you will find in Lesson 5.
Watch a video introduction to the resources HERE.
These resources were created as part of my role in the Digital Learning Team at Moray Council. They are provided below to benefit as many learners as possible.
If you have any questions about any of the materials, please get in touch!
Lesson 0: Introducing the micro:bit.
LI: We are learning to create code for a micro:bit.
Lesson 1: Using the Accelerometer.
LI: We are learning use the inputs and outputs on a micro:bit.
This video on inputs and outputs may also be helpful.
Lesson 2: Counting Variables.
LI: We are learning to use the micro:bit to count.
Lesson 3: Light and Temperature Sensors.
LI: We are learning use the light and temperature sensors on the micro:bit.
Lesson 4: Pins and Conductivity.
LI: We are learning to make use of the pins on the micro:bit.
Lesson 5: The Challenge.
LI: We are learning to adapt a micro:bit project to make it our own.
If you have completed these lessons with your learners explore the ‘Beyond Basics’ Lessons HERE to take the learning further!
