Micro:bit & Climate Action Kit Lesson Alignment 7th Grade Science

Unit 1: Force & Motion Strand 7.1 Tech Tool Lesson

Alignment Connection

Micro:bit

Counter

Students can collect motion-related data through movement and repeated trials.

Simple Tilt Arm

Students investigate motion, movement, and forces acting on an object.

Which Way Now?

Students explore motion, direction and forces while interpreting accelerometer data.

Clap Lights

Students investigate sound energy, input/output systems, and sensor responsiveness.

Get Up!

Students use timing, motion sensing, and systems interactions to investigate forces and movement. Discover how wind energy can be captured and stored to ensure a reliable electricity supply. Design and build a wind turbine model that simulates the generation of electricity and the storage of surplus energy in a battery for later use.

Micro:bit

Teleporting Duck

Models communication through radio signals and systems interactions similar to force fields acting over distance.

Compass Bearing

Uses magnetometer and orientation tools.
