Grade 9 Micro:bit
Circuit Diagrams and Automated Systems
This lesson inludes: Microbit introduction, basic circuits, electrical conductors, circuit diagrams, cardboard circuits, energy transformations, and other projects.
These slides are full of ready-made coding cards with photos of the system set-ups. Feel free to make them your own and spice it up!
How to use Micro:bits to teach electricity and circuits with this slide deck full of resources. There are also other ideas below.
Energy Efficient Automated Systems for life on Earth and Mars
These sample systems were designed for a space exploration project that utilizes automation for optimizing energy efficiency to help with life on Earth while exploring beyond!
The latest version "Guided By The Sun" takes inspiration from traditional ecological knowledge and Indigenous Ways of Knowing in STEM.
Environmental Chemistry - Let's Talk Science Living Space
Environmental monitoring based on Let's Talk Science Living Space initiative with the Canadian Space Agency where students code a Micro;bit sensor array to compare conditions (temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide) in their community to those aboard the International Space Station. Then they create an action plan to modify conditions and compare data before and after.
Condensed and updates LTS Resources
Calibrate your Living Space sensor array:
