Lesson

Alignment Connection

Micro:bit

Step Counter

Students analyze motion and movement data.

Reaction Game

Students measure speed and response time.

Timing Gate

Set up a timing gate to show speed/acceleration of toy cars.

Kick Strength

Log and store data on how hard a ball is kicked.

Secret Message

Students use wireless communication to model waves carrying information. Students investigate wireless digital signal transmission.

Send a Smile

Demonstrates radio wave communication and signal strength.

Light Level Sensor Students investigate light transmission and intensity. Sound Insulation

Determine the sound insulation properties of different materials.

Climate Action Kits

Wind Energy In Action

Discover how wind energy can be captured and stored to ensure a reliable electricity supply. In the 'Take Action' section, they will 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.
